Unfortunately, the overthrow of the Alawites with a government support by Saudi Arabia is in the best interest of the United State. It cuts Iran Shia Crescent in half and could ultimately lead to the overthrow of the Mullahs in Iran (assuming Obama is not the president and blows it again).
The problem is the US does not call in its blood and money spent in the Middle East an insist that Christians are protected.
The US certainly did not help the Christians in Egypt or any other country that was supporting "Arab Spring." Helping the Muslim Brotherhood seems to be more important to this current administration.

Asserts facts not in evidence.
I would maintain we want both sides to lose. Sort of like Iran-Iraq in the 80s.
We should sit on the sidelines.
I meant to ping you to my post above as well.
