Just because a "minority" rules over a "majority" in Syria doesn't mean that violence against the government/state is justified, nor does it mean that violence against the Alawite minority is justified either. Going by your logic (or lack thereof), I guess it's perfectly alright for the Shia majority in Bahrain to start a violent war against the ruling Sunni minority.
Violence was never supposed to be the solution. All it did was lead to the destruction of the Syrian state.
Syria will most likely never go back to how it used to be, thanks to all this needless violence.
And yes, Syrians are killing one another as we speak. In fact, there's a lot of fighting even between the various Syrian opposition groups.
The Uzbeks and Uighurs who are literally dying in droves on behalf of the FSA are definitely cannon fodder. There's no other way to describe them.
Both sides are using foreign mercenaries, so neither side is completely innocent.
It's really sad how biased a lot of you are. The truth is, Syria's finished, and many Syrians have only themselves to blame for that.
If the Bahraini regime had clamped down on the protestors with the same ferocity as the Al-Assad regime did, I would personally at least, not blame them for taking up arms to a much greater extend. Overall I find it senseless, even idiotic, to compare Syria with Bahrain for various obvious reasons. The only things they have in common is that both countries are Arab, both ruled by undemocratic regimes, both facing problems in the aftermath of the "Arab Spring" and both regimes being a minority, however this is much less obvious in Bahrain and can even be questioned nowadays. I would personally be very surprised if the native Shia's formed more than 60% of the Bahraini population rather than the often cited 70%. In fact it would not surprise me if it was rather 55/45.
Likewise if for instance the House of Saud started to carpet bomb much of KSA due to internal protests I would not be against the people taking up arms to defend themselves. Similarly people in for instance France would do the same thing.
However you are very correct in saying that the situation should never have developed as it did. A lot of the blame has to be put on the international community, regional countries in particular, aside from Syrians themselves. However I fully sympathize and understand why a very large segment of the Syrian population saw no other option than to resist Bashar's rule.
Here I have to disagree and agree with
@500 's prior post. Uzbeks have ventured into Syria (in this case their motives are irrelevant) on their own. The Uzbek regime nor any other regime or group has forced them to do such a thing. They have ventured into Syria completely out of their free will. Similarly to how people from the West have gone to Syria to fight with various terrorist groups, the Syrian opposition, Kurds etc. Lastly Uzbeks are not cannon fodder nor any other foreigners as no nationalities are "discriminated" against. Not only is it contrary to the ideology of groups such as ISIS, Al-Nusra etc. but it would be like shooting yourself in the foot as they in many ways depend on foreigners. So discriminating against non-locals, non-Arabs, Brown, White, Black etc. would be pointless.
Meanwhile the situation of Hazaras is entirely different and clear for everyone. Hazaras, aside from being treated like dirt in Iran and having hardly any basic rights, are actively advised and often outright forced to go to Syria on empty promises. The Iranian regime obviously prefers that foreigners die in their wars rather than locals although private Iranians have gone to Syria as well. So herein lies the big difference IMO.
Cannon fodder, speaking about this subject, is more than anything the numerous Syrian Sunni Arab soldiers in SAA who have been forcefully drafted into service.
Iraq went through something similar between 2003-2011 and this erupted again from 2013 until today, but it appears that things are moving in the right direction. Once either side wins in Syria this will happen too, I suspect. The problem is that so many powers and regional countries (with different interests) are engulfed in the Syrian mess. Of course the civilians suffer the most.
Anyway time for the NBA finals.
