Iraq & Afghanistan were pretty dang stable when Obama took office . He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory . His turn tail & run policies led to instability & ISIS & the resurgence of the Taliban .
Iraq was far more stable before Bush went in. It was a relatively modern society (for the area) and secular in nature. Now it is neither and hasn't been since well before Obama was elected.
So as Iraq and Afghanistan were left unresolved for Obama to sort out, so too will Syria be for Trump.
At least the way out of Syria looks fairly straight forward.
Stop supporting the rebels.
Let Assad and Russia win.
Let Russia pay to rebuild the place etc.
The indiscriminate bombings took their toll and the participation of the US was really limited, it's Assad's country. He may win the battle but he won't win the war, without the assistance of Russia it was a stalemate. Both sides would have grow tired of the war at some point as is the case with many civil wars but with so many countries involved that wasn't happening.
Strange how we viewed Saddam Hussein as brutal dictator, Assad isn't looking any better.

Bush was an idiot for going to war with Iraq.
Too bad Hillary Clinton didn't use her status and position to lobby against it. Instead she jumped right on that Freedom Fries, lets pour out the French wine idiot wagon and fully supported it too.

And in part it cost her the election. Trump has been headed down that same failed path.
Is that why he & Hillary bombed Libya to smithereens?
Libya posed absolutely no danger to the USA.
