So you'd rather us side with Hezzbollah than al-Qaeda? I say we just bomb both sides and be done with it.
Syrian Government = Alawite
Syrian people = Sunni Arabs
Hezbollah = Shi'a nutjobs
al-Qaeda = Sunnihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunni nutjobs
Muslim fighting muslim, this is the best thing to happen in the happy land of Sky Pixies since time began.
We should arm one side until they look like winning, then arm the other side, then when the stupid nutjobs make peace we can look forward to 200 years of sectarian infighting as not one of them knows when to stop beheading the other for sleeping with their goat.
Meanwhile, we can get on with discovering dark matter and all the other important stuff and leave the sky pixie peasants to throw rocks at each other.
