> That's the best euphemism for bombs and sponsoring what we would otherwise consider terrorist organisations I've ever heard

I do believe you have inadvertently made my point.

"The west" (including Canada) doesn't care about any global issue unless it conflicts with their interests. In this case, the Assad regime was/is uncooperative with the US in particular, which is why the US seized the opportunity to topple his control (via many methods, including funding known terrorist organizations which just happen to also be against the Assad regime at this moment in time).

"The west" is not involved in any other civil war or genocide at the moment, although there are many active around the world.

Perhaps you're not current on events, but non-military options are being taken right now, and are looking somewhat promising.

We've gone far into the weeds here and gotten even further off-topic than we already were. I, however, feel you're the type to want the last word, so feel free.
