2. Nothing I wrote said Assad should not have a voice

In fact, the UN resolution spoke of a Syrian led process. The UN security council unanimously approved the resolution which did not deny Assad a voice or even an ongoing role. Here is a link to see what was wanted as described by the UN- https://www.un.org/press/en/2015/sc12171.doc.htm

One use of a US voice would be to insure that Syrian Kurds and others who fought Assad are protected in Syria. I am not saying the US makes the rules -- they didn't, but under Obama, we did get international agreement that people who fled will be allowed to have a voice in a UN run election. Assad is already quilty of killing millions of his people, don't you think that the UN has a role in trying to create a more peaceful future?
