I’m not a ridiculous, peace-loving person, but when you hear about anyone giving anyone weapons, it doesn’t sound like a good idea.Fair point.

The rebels' struggle is right, but not if they’re also harming civilians. I don’t know, to be honest.

Obviously it’s not that easy to talk. But why fighting? Why? I mean, obviously I’m not over there, I’ve never been in Syria. I understand why people feel like they need weapons to be safe, but we should try to find another way.

I think directly arming and training rebels, although what Assad’s regime is doing is brutal, gives out a very strong message that you're aligned with the rebel cause and the Russians and the Iranians could retaliate.
