I have studied the situation and know we backed the killer terrorists along with your imagined good terrorists.  Prior to the civil war, the Syrian people were reasonably well off.  After years of media and US supported subversive activities in Syria, uncounted numbers are dead or refugees driven from their homes.  The US support of the subversion had enormous human cost.  The Russians stepped in wisely and stamped their feet on the terrorists.  Soon, through Russian wisdom, the Syrian people will be able to begin the healing process.  The media was completely wrong about freedom fighters.
