I can understand the argument "not our problem, not our business, stay out."
I can't buy the argument "If we help the rebels, we risk the extremists coming in". Assad is a ruthless, brutal dictator who is already supported by Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas. Are they considered "the good guys now?"
If not, why do people insist on using that particular argument?
On the rebels side its Al-Qaeda, on the Assad's side is Hezbollah and Hamas and Iran. It seems if you want in you need kick both and empower the middle - the civilians.
