Civil war in the Middle East is a dream and breeding ground for fundamentalist terrorists.
"Hey, we'll help you gain power against that oppressive regime (and then we'll work towards taking away the multi-religious society and freedoms that are already in place). Let freedom ring! The sincere rebels are making a deal with the devil, imo.
I hate to see the loss of human life; it's heartbreaking. But, also don't think we should be taking a side on this one. The rebel forces are comprised of, at least in part, the very terrorist groups and offshoots that we spilled our blood fighting against for a decade.
May not be a popular opinion, but I really wish we'd stay the hell out of arming, occupation, or anything of the sort in Syria. Continuing to provide food and blankets is a good thing, but beyond that, don't think we belong there.
Add: China and Russia are strong supporters of Assad; they won't back down. They've also voiced desires to broker negotiations, like the US, but I bet they'll kick in arms for the governmental militia if the US and European countries begin to provide military support to the rebels. Snowball.
