Renzetti for shame....  Whether the child is real or not it is irrelevant, why are rebels and terrorists being armed at all?  Why are they continuing this assault.   The USA cannot pick and choose who they want as leaders of the world; as we know than have ZERO moral authority in this regard (see Egypt, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Israel).  

For this to stop the rebels must pack up and go home.   To say anything else merely makes you an american propagandist;.  The americans could end this war in a month or two if they would demand their allies to stop arming rebels/terrorists and demand they leave.   They have NO plan on who will govern afterwards and like Libya it will be a disaster if the yanks got their way.  Assad is a tyrant and will hopefully one day disappear from the earth.... but as for right now he is the only option.   To say the rebels or Nusra Front would assume control is silly and how would they decide among themselves.....Renzetti put your frustration where it belongs.
