Russia's Putin tells the West to work together with Russia to get rid of ISIS

Daily Express (UK) story

Although the the U.S. and Russia have fallen out over Ukraine, it's nevertheless in their mutual interest to eliminate Muslim terrorism.  In Syria, President Assad may be a villain, but ISIS is much worse.

Democracy is always the ideal, but Syrians are too primitive for it to work and the best answer seems to be a benign dictatorship based on the present regime, minus Assad and his most culpable henchmen.  The most important things that must be respected are due process and human rights.
