7. Which Syrian people are

they supposedly representing? Is it the Kurds, Alawites, Christians or Sunnis? The head of the Syrian Coalition is a naturalize citizen of the U.S. from Texas. The second guy in charge is a Christian that went to Indiana University. How can someone who hasn't lived in Syria for two decades be the representative of the Syrian people?

And don't you think it is kinda ridiculous to make demands on President Assad when they are presumably winning the War? Doesn't this seem like a desperate attempt and why the need the U.S. to intervene si bad?

Also can you answer the allegations recently reported in the Guardian, about an opposition commander cutting the organs out of a Syrian soldier and supposedly eating them. It was alleged he told his followers to do the same, which is being investigated as a War crime? This commander supposedly promise to do this to all Alawites. What was reported was horrendous in nature. And are you sure the FSA is not losing people to extremists along with their weapons?
