  1. They are trying to divide these parts of the middle east up in to small pockets based on ethnic backgrounds, if you do that these pockets will never be able to organise themselves properly and will be easy to control by any military threat such as the US. The US favours islamic extremist rule over secular arab ruler which will be nationalising there own resources such as oil. Every state that they are going after are the most secular and progressive nations and if they collapse Syria it will set off the fail chain reaction to take the rest. The reasonable way to deal with a ruler that is being accused of being oppressive to his people is to organise a, internationally, monitored and legal election in Syria. This is why they all say Assad must go, no questions asked, because right now if they did do a election in this manor Assad would easily win by a mile stone of at least a 70% lead. The majority of Syria are behind Assad, now more than ever, due to his staying power with fighting in insurgents, who BTW are clearly all islamic extremists that want to back in time 500 years. The problem is that Assad and his family have historically refused to bow down to western powers and will never do something just the US tells them to.
