There was no reason to hit Soleimani
Meh, dude was responsible for many armed conflicts after the Cold War ended, particularly in Europe and SW Asia.
And, everybody targets Assad. He's a second generation, cult of personality dictator and along with his father, responsible for 10s (100s?) of thousands of deaths over the years.
Assad can be reasoned with, however. And all our interventions over there has bought us exactly jack squat, so less is more, addition by subtraction.
So, while I am in general agreement with your broader point that we should back off over there as much as possible, saying "No reason" excuses murderous behavior at the intensity of Hitler, Stalin and Mao, but without the scope or bodycount.
