9. Supposedly this would benefit the Free Syrian Army

Supposedly there are moderate Sunni and secular forces in the opposition to Assad that are also opposed to the Islamists.

It is not a two party conflict. There have been battles among the opposition forces already.

The only realistic outcome that is even moderately good would be to smash both the government and the Islamists and put it under a Turkish/French protectorate that could jointly protect the Alawite and Christian communities.
