US Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump declared that the Middle East would be more stable if Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein were still in power in Libya and Iraq, Eyewitness News.
"You can make the case, if you look at Libya, look at what we did there, it’s a mess," Trump said on NBC.
"If you look at Saddam Hussein with Iraq, look what we did there, it’s a mess. It’s going to be the same thing in Syria," he said.
In addition he noted that Washington was helping in Syria to people who were "maybe worse than Assad."
