If
any country, including the U.S., had armed terrorists embedded in
neighborhoods, and holding civilians hostage for years, and targeting
unarmed civilians constantly, it too would be using its own military
and security forces to fight the terrorists in order to liberate the
captive civilians.

Part
2 - Neither grass-roots nor a revolution
Had the
conflict actually been ‘grass-roots,’ the ‘revolution’ could
have been successful, and the Assad government would have been forced
from Damascus. The fact that Assad is still in office attests to the
steadfastness of the majority of the Syrian people.
A
successful revolution depends on the national army splitting and
siding with the population who want regime change. However, the
Syrian Arab Army (SAA) never split, and never turned on the
government. The SAA are a national army in Syria, made up of every
able-bodied male over the age of 18 who is not enrolled in
university. Because the population of Syria is about 80 percent
Sunni, the majority of the SAA are from that sect. There were many
defections among the army, but it was never enough to affect the
performance of the army, and the unity of the army meant the armed
opposition could not ever win against the SAA.
Those
who were fighting the Syrian government in the streets of Deraa,
Homs, East Aleppo and East Ghouta were following Radical Islam, and
were mounting an armed struggle to remove the secular government and
install Shariah Law according to Wahabi doctrine as the new Syrian
Constitution.
These
groups were supported by the U.S.-NATO-Turkey-Jordan-Qatar-Saudi
Arabia alliance, known as “The Friends of Syria.” The attack on
the Syrian government beginning in March 2011 was a foreign-planned
and -funded attack, to produce regime change, for the political
benefit of the U.S. and its allies, as well as the neighbors of Syria
who were already following or promoting Radical Islam as a political
ideology.
The very
same Radical Islamic political party, The Muslim Brotherhood (MB),
which had started the Hama uprising in Syria in the 1980’s, was
front-and-center in the Syrian crisis. Virtually every founding
member of the Syrian National Coalition (SNC) — located in
Istanbul, Turkey — was an MB member. They used a
Christian-turned-atheist/Communist, George Sabra, as their cover,
camouflaging their real agenda.
Anyone
studying the documentation of the Hama uprising will find that the
Muslim Brotherhood members were committing sectarian massacres
against minority sects. President Hafez al-Assad delivered a famous
speech in which he portrayed the Muslim Brotherhood as willing to
slaughter their own neighbors, and relatives, in order to further
their sectarian goals.
