I fail to see how this will end any different from the other Middle Eastern government coups from the past few years; one hostile government is overthrown so that another, the people's 'liberators', can take power.

You honestly think that the rest of the rebel fighters are ordinary Syrians just fighting for their freedom? A vast majority of them have been recruited from the neighboring countries and could care less about Syria as long as they get paid with American dollars.

Again I'm not taking sides here and like someone else already said Syria is fucked no matter who takes over. I'm just pointing out the fact that we have to look at both sides of this conflict before blindly start bombing another country in the region.

i'm not suggesting that they go in and carpet bomb.

Assad should have stepped down before mubarak did. he needs to go. end of story.

The frenzy concerning chemical weapons is a sham. Assad isn't going away as planned, so now they are pretending that his weapons are the reason for intervention. Now it is about "our security".
This is a big deception, they know full well Iran, Syria and Hezbollah have a military defence treaty. They know a huge war will be the result.

and who do you think will take over once he leaves? The heard of the Syrian Rebel army? What is the alternative? Who will really be benefiting if Assad leaves?

No one wants to fight Syria. Syria is not Iraq, Syria is not Afghanistan, Syria is not Libya.

Syria is a competent military force. Their main military force has not even been damaged, and in fact a lot of been kept out of combat due to the fear that they'd defect. If they are fighting a legitimate outside aggressor like the US or NATO they would have full morale doing it.

Syria has an extremely modern integrated air defense network, the latest Russian surface-to-air missile systems, a number of highly capable combat aircraft, and crews with experience. Their army is modern, well trained, and well equipped. Putting boots on the ground against them would be a disaster, because they WOULD use chemical weapons against them, which would draw out the US policy of "ambiguous response", which is something no nation should tempt, because it ranges from the mundane to the mushroom cloud.

So your whole argument that they are looking for an excuse is pretty invalid because no fighting force in NATO is looking to get into a full on war with Syria. It'd be a big mess.
