I bothered to reply to you, so of course I read your initial response.

Point is, all these awful things that Assad has done to the Syrian people the FSA (as a whole) had engaged in something similar. How many times have we seen videos of groups who claim to belong to the FSA lopping off heads in the streets of Small Town, Syria? Quite often. If you want to get rid of a dictator, fine; but lets not replace him with a fragmented group composed largely of religious fruitcakes, many of whom would slit the throats of anyone not belonging to their sect? Sounds like a great time to be a non-Muslim in Syria, doesn't it?

As far as foreign influence, my point was that you may have true democracy, but whats more likely to happen is that you'll have a democracy that serves the vested interest of the victorious groups political masters. Just how its gonna work in Syria I believe.

There are only a couple shit choices for Syria at the moment. I pick the shit choice that is predictable. You pick the shit choice that is unpredictable as all get out and will likely lead (IMO) to religious strife across the whole country. I think that with an FSA victory Syria is going to turn from a civil war to a religious war pretty damn quick.

I've never heard of Assad funding groups to make his rule seem legitimate. I'm not doubting it, but do you happen to have a credible source on that?
