#1 You know collapse of the Alawite regime in Syria is like chopping off one of Iran's hands.

#3 If Assad falls and Syria is ruled by the majority Sunnis, they will be more united and stronger. Not a win for Israelis.

Precisely. As an Alawite heretic, Assad can count on 10% of the population (his co-religionists). Syria as a Hamas state does not bear thinking about. I bet the Sunni mullahs are fulminating against the Alawite usurpers in power every single Friday. If Assad is smart, he's working on an action plan for disappearing the mullahs who speak against him.
