Assad also has an interest in depupulation, if the Sunnis who to not support assad flee the country it will be easier for his troops to regain controll. So, not only the US/NATO is playing this game, Russia/Assad do it also.
Asad has a Sunni wife and syrian Arab army’s full of Sunnis. Syria are fighting what non terrorist supporting countries will call terrorist gang’s
If they were to be successful, it would be the start of a pattern much supported by Agenda 21

British diplomats were blabbing about Blair and Bush’s intention to destabilize Syria “from within” in 2003, but it goes much further back than even this.
