Some important points:
-unlike Lybia, the rebels don't have a stronghold for western powers to supply weapons. Answer: "humanitarian zones" for refugees, real purpose is a safe place to arm rebels.
- Assad is a Shia. As a Shia he has defended the rights of minorities like him. Sunni government will mean another Islamic government like Egypt.
- Being a Shia government, its looks for support from Iran. If a Sunni governmetn comes to power, it will be under the influcne of the west.
- Are the west "concerns" for the Syrian people genuine or is this about power and influence in the middle east? I think the latter.
