This reasoning is false. By launching a genocide against peacefully
protesting Syrian Sunnis, Bashar al-Assad not only created ISIS, which
is a threat to the world, but also weaponized refugees, sending
millions of them into neighboring countries, including Europe.
Western nations are under attack from al-Assad's ISIS and weaponized
refugees, and there's absolutely no reason why the West should be
required to just sit around, doing nothing, waiting to be attacked
some more.
