Choices are clear.
Back in 1978/1979, regarding Iran, many Americans made the same noises about the Shah. Oooo, he was supposedly killing people in Iran - many faked pictures were to prove it too, at the time. What if he truly ordered killing of people? He Didn't, TRUE.
Had he done so, many (Khomeini supporters back then) would've not lived - including the ones who took American Embassy hostages.
Anyhow, People bought it - then came Khomeini, and then the same people shut the F up & simply watched, and keep on watching... Nobody asks how many people Khomeini et al has been killing since.
Now, Assad.. he is killing people, don't ya know? Sad, but true... yet, we harp on on the same that we brought on to the scene (a la Khomeini in Iran), muzzie brotherhood in Syria to be. And, no mistakes about it, it will be a moslem "brotherhood" in Syria, once Assad is gone.
Point is: the same emotional, ignorant people who blamed the Shah, harp on about Assad in Syria. The Shah, contrary to the popular, belief did not kill even a tiny fraction of what the Mullahs' regime has done in just over 30 yrs of its horror in Iran (and abroad). But, some Americans are still wondering...
When America selects, ehemm, elects a President who is more intelligent than Obama Hussein (a Moslem, is he?), then we can talk... "intelligently" about USA foreign Policy.
And, about "moslems killing moslems", we should worry about that more in your neck of the woods... apparently too many moslems in America already, AND they aint looking to kill each other.
Can’t answer that one, I’m afraid.
It’s worth it to support the rebels, in order to deprive Iran of a valued ally and throw Hizbollah into disrepute. If Assad survives in a weakened state, good. If the Brotherhood takes over, they will at least not be so thick with Iran, because they don’t even view Shiites as Muslims. So also good. If the country collapses into anarchy and fragments into Kurdistan, Allawiya, Assyriania, Shiitia and Sunnia, also good. So long as it is no longer useful to Iran, I’ll be happy.
