Syria is a Russian problem now.

Because oil and gas have fallen in price? So it is not forever and soon it will again turn out to be that Assad is a dictator and progressive humanity must support "moderate" terrorists...

By the rebels, why would Assad bomb his own people

Because he wants to murder anyone who opposes him....just like every other dictator.

And no, there is no evidence that the rebels used barrel bombs.

Then why is he winning, why didnt gaddafi win?

Because NATO stepped in to stop Gaddafi from slaughtering his own people any further , while Putin has saved Assad from large scale punishment for his crimes.

If you are willing to murder enough civilians, and you have a country with nukes protecting you, sooner or later you “win”.

Nato stepped in for Syria too, so point is wrong

Assad did not murder civilians on purpose, the west attacked Assad and lost

60 Percent Of Syrian Rebels Are Islamist Extremists, Think Tank Finds : The Two-Way : NPR

Oil prices have zero to do with it.

Russia aligned with the Syrian government. Not the Syrian people.

It's Russia's problem now.

Yeah, that’s a blatant lie. Aside from hitting the Assad regime every so often when he gassed his own people there was no concentrated NATO air campaign to crush Assad’s butchers.

If the West had “attacked Assad” he’d be in The Hague right now.....or a rotting corpse. Just like Saddam, Gaddafi, and every other two bit thug we’ve gone up against.

And not all the Russian mercenaries in the world could have have saved him.

So yes, **** Assad, the man who’d rather murder every last person in Syria than give up an ounce of power.

Can we send Clinton there first? For the barbaric bombing of Serbia? Or is it "completely different"?

Considering that the Serbs actively committed genocide in Bosnia and were working up to it in Kosovo, it is, in fact, completely different.

What do you think people should reasonably expect to happen when they launch an urban civil war? To live forever with no collateral losses?

I think it’s really not too much to ask for people to have a leader who doesn’t machine gun them in order to desperate cling onto power.

That’s really not a controversial position either.

There was no “urban civil war” when Assad started shooting, and the next step he takes to minimize civilian casualties will be the first.

I wonder what would have happened if Lincoln had taken your advice.

Lincoln didn’t round up the Confederate sympathizers in numerous towns and cities across the south and massacre them, so the two aren’t even remotely comparable. The South was also fighting for slavery......not protesting a dictator.

On the other hand, the fate of African Americans would have been immeasurably better if we hadn’t been so lenient on the Confederate scum.
