Which of the following describes the civil war in Syria?
1. The civil war in this ancient country drags on and on. At the center of the war is a Russian-backed government fighting militant Islamists hoping to carve out an Islamic state. Suspected rebels have been tortured and kidnapped, their ancestral homes burnt to the ground. There are daily clashes in this small country. The rebels call on the U.S. for help. The civil war remains a stalemate.
2. The rebels in this country want to topple a dictator and set up a theocratic state. The conflict has resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis. Both sides have been accused of widespread human rights violations and atrocities. One and a half million civilians have been displaced, an estimated 100,000 civilians killed. President Obama, feeling pressure from his interventionist advisors, sends 100 troops in a purely symbolic gesture to a neighboring country in 2011 on a time-limited mission. The troops will be fighting Christians.
