If Assad in Syria is an important pillar in the war against IS and 
Al-Queda. As was Saddam in Iraq before an American cowboy killed him and 
turned the state into the terrorist's training camp.

As for the Crimea you should not look at this as a common robbery when a 
bad gay captures something from the weak one in the dark lane.

The more appropriate is the following approach when we compare Russia 
and Ukraine as participants of a divorce. The was marriage agreement 
(the USSR treaty). Abstractly, The Russian Federation married Ukraine. 
But the Russian Federation also had its Russian son -- who lives in a 
separate house that we call the Crimea peninsula.

The divorce process is always a hard matter. Each side wants to take as 
much as possible. But it there is another important matter -- the 
opinion of the son.

Divorce must take into account both sides. For instance in Kosovo there 
are border areas with Serbs population. They certainly should have right 
to join Serbia. It will be a swinish idea to stop it.

Bye, Matthew!
