But innocent non-Sunni women and children deserve to be slaughtered by the Sunni rebels? What about the innocent American men, women and children who will be targeted right here at home once the Sunni rebels establish a Taliban-style Islamist regime in Syria? We've lived with an Alawite regime in Syria for decades without a single Alawite terrorist attack here, whereas Sunnis have launched dozens (successful and thwarted) of terrorist attacks against us with the 1993 and 2001 WTC and Fort Hood attacks being the most well-known.
Assad has harbored many Sunni terrorist organizations including al-qaeda. He is only getting what he deserves.
