Assad was the one that the Syrians protested about (peacefully - till he started killing them !) Just like the peaceful (for now) protests in Hong Kong.
Because we didn't help the Syrians (as we promised we would) a power vacuum has opened ... and every nutter in the world has now arrived.
The UN has already said that Assad must go - therefor your scenario does not compare.

I'm not in favour of killing human beings under almost any circumstances but this kind of organised danger can only be suppressed by one route. Not bombings or warfare. Surgical, precise retaliation. Cut out the cancer.
I return to my "no borders" opinion. With the Internet showing that the Human Race is a global species, so the time has come that we regard certain areas as to be controlled universally. That's why I expand my EU views rather than shrink our connection. We need to stop isolationism and develop internationalism. Nations that oppress need to be stopped by international action (preferably NOT military intervention). And crimes like murder need international action but not the old kind of warfare. Surgical intervention against lunatic quasi religious or moral societies (such as countries or sects which kill innocent people for no reason).
