American Enterprise Institute
The American Enterprise Institute, or AEI for short, is a conservative think tank with research dedicated to political, economical, and social welfare issues. The AEI devotes itself "to defend the principles and improve the institutions of American freedom and democratic capitalism—limited government, private enterprise, individual liberty and responsibility, vigilant and effective defense and foreign policies, political accountability, and open debate." Even though the AEI describes itself as non-partisan, it is the most prominant neoconservatist think tank. Therefore, the AllSides Bias Rating™for The American Enterprise Institute is far right. With community feedback, the bias rating of far right is subject to change.

At least — unlike Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson — they knew what Aleppo was. President Obama hotly rebuffs those who say his hesitancy to enforce redlines or support a no-fly zone made the Syria conflict worse.
Obama, Trump, Democratic runner-up Bernie Sanders, and even former President Bill Clinton, meanwhile, have all quipped at one point or another that the United States can’t be the world’s policeman.
Still, Syria’s plight tugs at the heartstrings.
Almost 5 million refugees have fled their homeland, and millions more are displaced internally. The United Nations estimated 400,000 dead; an equal number have disappeared. Girls who once aspired to be doctors or lawyers now find themselves forced into child marriages in Jordan and Turkey.
