A very good point.
The Egyptian Army turned against Mubarak, same happened in Tunisia and majority of Libya's armed forces defected to the other side.
Syria, despite some defections has stayed steadfast in their support of Assad.
Assad despite all his faults had built a tolerant, secular and largely peaceful country. If these terrorist gangs get a hold of the Syrian Biological and Chemical weapons, it will be a whole new era of global terrorism using these weapons.
Just look at what is happening in Africa with terrorists using Libyan weapons to create more headaches.
Iran and Russia really need to step up their aid to Syria.
