A Policy Which Serves Up Decent Moderate People To Treachery

"Syrian Opposition Groups Sense Fading U.S. Support" shows a convoluted policy where "the United States did not want them to actually win the war" but resist "long enough to pressure the government to negotiate for a political solution."  Its too subtle a policy for a life and death reality of the recent al-Assad government's advance in the Aleppo region of Northwestern Syria so that efforts by the Western powers to negotiate from afar in a top down manner just serves up decent moderate people to treachery. Until the Allies look at Syria as a broken state that can not be put back together again will there be a logic and purpose to intervene.
