On the rebel side, you habe bakers, shoe-makers and school-teachers picking up the fight.

My point is that any amount of decent training, or advisement by western forces, or a small discrete intervention by crack western spec ops would greatly tip the balance.

One question....why is the US fighting for Europe's oil? 196 cruise missles launched by US forces. Who is going to pay for that?
