I am relieved they do not have better arms. Such arms sooner or later would end up in the hands of West-hostile religious fanatics inside and outside Syria. I see absolutely no excuse for supporting Syria being turned into a Sharia-based platform. They will achieve that sooner or later by themselves, yes. But we must not aid them and rush the process. Syria is not our friend, and it will not become our friend. It is an enemy, no matter whether it is Assad, Al Quaida, or an alliance of some of the many fundamentalist fanatic militias.

But I am for airstrikes to destroy the stockpiles of chemical weapons. We should destroy them no matter who rules the coming Syria. And we should not accept the rebels getting them. Because I predict the next regime in Syria will be worse than that of Assad. Worse for Syria. Worse for Israel. Worse for the West.
