The U.S. in Syria: Order over human rights?

The U.S. has been forced because of circumstances beyond it's control to advocate order: which tends to deny human rights as a by product of this latest Chaos to where formerly anti-ISIL rebels who only wanted Assad gone now are starting to fight the U.S. too because they know they only way for them to succeed in ending Assad is to join ISIL.

This is a very sad commentary on what the Middle East has become in regard to Assad and ISIL. In other words now Anti-Assad rebels have no choice if they want to end Assad but to join ISIL. This is how sad this is all becoming on top of everything else.

However, the U.S. and Europe simply cannot allow the chaos and genocide of ISIL to continue to exist. The U.S. and Europe and other countries around the world know that ISIL and the ISlamic sTate it represents would if allowed to flourish end every single present government in the Middle east that exists now. The U.S. and Europe have no choice but to end ISIL even if that means leaving Assad in place for now.

In this one instance Russia and the U.S. agree. Russia and the U.S. agree that genocide of all Christians, Yazidis, Shias and every other minority would be permanently wiped from the Middle East if ISIL is allowed to flourish there. So, ISIL will continue to be bombed and destroyed by air for as long as it takes to drive ISIL back to being only a terrorist organization.

However, this is a problem too. Because I think ISIL will be much more dangerous as a terrorist organization by a factor of 10 to 100 to Europe, Russia and the U.S. and Canada and Australia than it is now to us while is is only ISIL which is a nation state trying to live it's genocidal policies towards all minorities even most Sunnis.
