guys,  if FSA wins, its better that way, cos it will make sure no more reprisals in war. all fightings will stall. but if syrian army prevalis, these FSA will always rise up since their goal is to topple assad. in my oppinion i think its better if FSA wins, then all bombings will stop since they got what majority of syrians wants. @red fang: who said its the majority of the people that are against assad? just because the supporters of Assad are not taking to the streets and arming themselves, does not mean he has lost support. Remember that aside from the miliatry war, there's the political war (which is siding with the revolution), there is a media war (which is siding with the revolution), and there is the electronic war (which is siding with the revolution). Did you know that facebook closed the pro-government-milit ary page 137 times?

It seems to be a semi - civil war in progress .... So far never heard of a solid info on how the anti Syrian government armed groups are financing themselves..!!!! Don't tell me they are living on water and bread for their so called " freedom "!!!! . What incentives they are enjoying to feel so energized to conduct such crimes against their fellow citizens - on the Syrian Iraqi border- ? How money are channeled to them to get them into such groups? I think they are just Mercenaries . Mercenary business is huge and very powerful . Unfortunately , the Syrian government is against such huge strong and very well organized and powerful  business , where loyalty is for the highest bidder.

@Slavery : very well put. noone asks these type of questions. a lot of people just look at whats in front of them, i.e. "people looking for freedom". but there's more than meets the eye..

the journalists covering these stories are better soldiers then these fsa jokes. the fsa cant even capture a cold let alone highly important military checkpoints. i will never look at the news in the same way after whats happened in syria and libya. they are a bunch of story telling stations. shame on america and the lies they spread All I know from personal experience, the picture on the ground is one thing, a western news completely different
