#1 Assad has held out this long because of help from the Mullahs and Hezbollah. However since the rebels have been on offense most of the time for the past year, it seems it will take a bigger commitment of Hezb and the Basij to hold the line.

#4 yes Alanc, I agree that on the balance, a long casualty heavy balance of power struggle between Iran and its proxies vs Salafists of all kinds, is in our interests.

However, there are many, many collateral victims.
