My Comment: There may be no direct U.S. involvement or military assistance to the rebels .... even though some U.S. Senators are trying to change minds .... but as the civil escalates, the Americans have made it known that they are watching the situation very closely.
As to what is my take .... stay away from this war as far as possible. It's going to get bloodier and more messier as winter recedes in Syria, and military/guerrilla operations escalate.
