None!
There are no good guys in Syria.
We should just stay away, have them kill each other, then show up and kick the sh#t out of the winner.

Hmm, didn't mean to type all of this. No one's reading all of this lol. This is awkward... In short, Assad's the lesser of many evils. I'd rather see all outsiders leave Syria, all of the paramilitaries and mercs disarmed, and then see a new wave of elections there. Let the Syrian people decide their fate after that.

People who do you support, ISIS, so called moderate rebels like Al Nusra, or Assad?
For those who don't know who Al Nusra is, it's an Al Qaeda offshoot which is the same organization that launched attacks against the US.
Al Nusra
Al-Nusra Front or Jabhat al-Nusra (Arabic: جبهة النصرة الله-ليثيوم أهل الشام من مجاهدي الشام في الساحات الجهاد, transliteration: Jabhat an-Nuṣrah li-ahli ash-Shām min Mujahideen ash-Shām fi Sahat al-Jihad, "The Victory Front for the People of the Levant by the Mujahideen of the Levant on the Fields of Jihad",[35] often abbreviated to JN), known as the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (Arabic: جبهة فتح الشام, transliteration: Jabhat Fataḥ al-Šām) after July 2016, and also called al-Qaeda in Syria or al-Qaeda in the Levant,[36][37] is a Sunni Islamist terrorist organization fighting against Syrian Government forces in the Syrian Civil War, with the aim of establishing an Islamist state in the country.[38] The group announced its formation on 23 January 2012.[39]

Lately I have been seeing that some people are calling for Assad to be bombed.
Here's the problem, if Assad is taken out of power then your left with Jihadists. There are no moderate rebels left in Syria.
Even the US admitted there are no moderate rebels:
The Russian air force in Syria has flown straight into the West’s fantasy air space. The Russians, we are now informed, are bombing the “moderates” in Syria – “moderates” whom even the Americans admitted two months ago,no longer existed
It’s rather like the Isis fighters who left Europe to fight for the “Caliphate”.Remember them? Scarcely two months ago, our political leaders – and leader writers – were warning us all of the enormous danger posed by “home-grown” Islamists who were leaving Britain and other European countries and America to fight for the monsters of Isis. Then the hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees began trekking up the Balkans towards Europe after risking death in the Mediterranean – and we were all told by the same political leaders to be fearful that Isis killers were among them.

In fact I'm pretty sure many Jihadis are probably cheering for the US to take out Assad because then they can seize power.
If the Jihadists won then there will be dire consequences including more refugees coming to the West and even the Far East (Japan took some refugees and they have been having problems too)

at the same time al Nursra & AQ & IS-ISIS are avowed human rights offenders... all these groups claim to be superior to everyone else, and have no qualms with practicing genocide on Christians, Jews, Homosexuals who get trapped behind their lines

I read every word. I can't argue against any of it and your points are believable. Well done.
.... and you believed that? The media never lies do they?

This evidence included watching from satellite as the planes left the hangar (which was bombed), then dropped bombs on civilians, resulting in a chemical cloud. The chemical cloud was viewed via satellite, and shown to come from the bomb, dropped from the plane, which came from Assad's military hangar.

That's a pretty harsh reply. This is not the Mud-Pit.
It was military intelligence that determined that Assad was responsible for the gas attacks, not the media.
If you had watched the interviews with high level people involved in the decision, which is actually ignored by most media, they described the evidence that led to their findings.
