Because Syria is ruled by the Alawite Baath terrorist regime. The Alawites are a muslim sect that is close to the Shia and they have oppressed the Sunni Syrians for over 35 years.

What the Sunnies in Syria want is of no consequence. The dictator Assad is not a Sunni, he's Alawite (aka Alawi, Nusayris or Ansaris), which is a Shia sect.
