  It is pretty well established that there are elements within the rebels that are not "good eggs", but that doesn't apply to all by any means. That the uprising has been hijacked by some groups with their own agendas is not a reason to ignore the plight of the innocent civilians suffering chemical weapons attacks.
  As far as "warmongering politicians" goes, that is precisely the sort of language that is so unhelpful in this situation. How can Obama, a democratic president who stood on an anti-war ticket, be described as a war-monger? What about French socialist Hollande? Does anyone believe that they really want this situation? The main problem with this crisis is that there are no good outcomes. If they take action, there will be consequences. However, failure to take action will also have consequences, which will be far more widespread than some may realise.
