Who cares? Assad is a horrible person, but he can be dealt with later. We don't know who the hell these other people are and what they'd do. The devil you know is better than the devil you don't. We learned that after taking out Hussein and Qaddafi in the cases of Iraq & Libya.

Evidence of the magnitude that he requires physical removal?

There is a reason that Assad's actual supposed crimes are mostly ignored. They are non-existent to inconsequential enough to not warrant a legal subversion of his rule. If he is so bad, then there should have been a vote in the U.N. The reasons for action against Assad is as made up as the reasons for action against Hussein and Qaddafi, especially when U.S.A. historical involvement in propping up their rule is taken into account, and the vacuum in his absence will lead to equal or worse results. Furthermore, there exists a well known plan for eliminating Assad dating back to 1996.

He's bad enough that hundreds of thousands of people are risking everything to be rid of him...

It appears no one here has heard of operation Inherent Resolve? Russia has only, oh, about 6,800 strikes to go. If one believes the "500 number", and why would anyone do that?

Effin' Denmark has flown 500+ missions against ISIS.

Don't you guys read newspapers?
