Wait a minute here. I thought small arms and ammunition were useless against a nations military?
At least that's what I keep hearing.

US have confirmed they will provide military aid to Syria rebels..
Russia say they will continue to supply Syria government with missiles.
This has got some great potential to become something really big.
. . . a golden opportunity to rid the world of a ruthless and brutal dictatorship that has been actively hostile to American interests in the region for more than four decades . . .

The truth gets very cloudy and murky on what's really going on in Syria. We know that Assad is brutal and has been wiping out whole neighborhoods including the children that live there. We know he's used chemical weapons. We know he has terror squads that go around killing hand to hand, raping and torturing. We know that normal citizens, like us, are opposing him and have asked for help. Then it gets murky with terrorists and mercenaries with other agendas joining the fight, political grandstanding from the powers that be and revenge killings. What would you do to the soldiers that raped your wife and killed your children when you caught up to them? I'd be tempted to eat thier hearts.
I think if you boil away all the excess stuff, your left with people that need, want and deserve our help.
