Think we should increase our support for the Free Syrian Army? Sadly, the units that are best organized and equipped tend to be the fundamentalists.
And what should it entail? Just light weapons? Crew served quipment? Actual military support of air strikes? Green Beret training?
Personally I think we should stay out of it. I think they will eventually take over the country and may hate us for not helping more, but I don't want to arm more enemies of the US. Too often our intervention creates its own problems. Example? Libya, the insurgents in Mali got a lot of their weapons from Kadaffy's arsenals.

I think it's time to show the world what happens when the US stays out of these conflicts. Syria will likely be another terrorist haven when the dust settles so it would be crazy to send any weapons there like we are doing in Egypt.
And before the fighting started in Syria, how many of those "rebels" had a favorable view of the US? Very few if any. We're obviously hated in the region so it's time we let them fight their own battles no matter how ugly it gets.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
