Protest and mass slaughter started in March 2011. Do u know when rebels managed to destroy first tank? - Only in January 2012! - 10 months after. When tens of thousands soldiers who refused to shoot their people defected from Assads army, when Assad started to bombard neighborhoods with heavy artillery. So all ur claims that they were prepared and armed is scrap. Only in 2013 rebels received ATGMs, they never got MANPADS.
The difference that such thing is exception while for Assad aka Khamenai aka Putin is systematic. Name me ONE village depopulated by Americans in Afghanistan. Just one. Assad aka Khamenai aka Putin depopulated more than 12 million hundreds towns and villages - more than half of Syrian population.
