Out of the three participants, Assad, rebels, and Al Qaeda, I wish the rebels will succeed.

The rebels ARE Al Queda.

Backed and trained by the CIA, armed and funded by both the CIA and Saudi Arabia (who attacked us on 9/11).

Hopefully the Snackbars don't win.......I will go with Assad.

Snackbars winning equals insanity and Christians will be murdered at an even faster rate.

Al Qaeda the third participant, and to suggest all rebels are Al Qaeda is simple false. You are poorly informed. CIA had boots in the ground specifically to make sure US knew who were Al Qaeda, and who were not.

I don't think either side will win now. I expect Syria to be another Lebanon, where the civil war went on for over a decade and ground down to an exhausted stalemate. Assad's father put an end to the Lebanese fighting when he finally moved troops in that became de facto armed peacekeepers.

Assad will keep control of the country, but he has lost too much support from his people to ever be an effective ruler again. The rebels are too disorganized to ever be able to put an effective government together if Assad leaves, and the country will factionalize along religious lines like Lebanon, with barricaded neighborhoods and lines that are never crossed.

The poll is worthless as it is a three or four sided civil war. Why only have two options when the four main groups are Government, Free Syrian Army, Islamists, and the Kurds?
