No happy outcome in Syria as conflict turns into proxy war

 "No happy outcome in Syria as conflict turns into proxy war", is an as yet unsupported assertion, "Video apparently showing rebels gunning down Assad militiamen in cold blood suggests the insurgents are capable of brutality to match their enemies,"er, no, they are shooting prisoners that they may not have the facilities to hold until hostilities end, not atypical for rebels taking on a state, and to compare it with the torture and murder of children by the régime is inadvisable.

"Few observers of Syria see any sign of an opposition ready to run the country", the ones who would be happier for Assad to continue than to risk the people taking power.
