when you are in a position to directly help people at the cost of just a few million dollars' worth of military tech that otherwise sits around and does nothing, you help them.


getting rid of the assad regime isn't directly helping people, though

it might be a good thing for him to be gone, but the way it would improve the lives of the average Syrian is incredibly unclear considering the lack of a coherent policy we have with regards to Syrian regime change.

and of course you need to worry about the problems with public perception on the ground in the middle east
