I have no doubt that the Assad regime is going to fall but worry what or who will replace it. Everywhere the US has acted in the Muslim world the US has been condemned for its actions. For instance I am still waiting for the oil we are supposed to be stealing from Iraq. The US took the position of opposing Mubarak and what Egypt has now, not what those in Tahriri Square wanted. In Tunisia the more fundamentalist Islamists took over and the Islamists are waiting in the wings to profit from innocent people"s deaths in Syria. Should the US support a group who will turn around and bite it on the hand? I don't think so.
