Flip the script. The US breaks out in a civil war 10 years from now. Militias and civilians (labeled as "insurgents" or "rebels" to lessen the blow of killing them) go against the National Guard / Military and police. The "rebels" start to lose. China or Russia runs to the rebel's aid and arms them so they can better fight the US government.
Such a thing is unthinkable and would be seen as an act of war by the US gov. Yet, time and time again the west meddles into affairs it doesn't belong in.
That said, if the Syrian gov really did gas their own people, they need to have those chemical weapons taken from them or lose their ability to use them again. Even in war, among the civilized their are rules. But they have to be 100% sure who did it, and it needs to be a fast, well targeted military strike, and then it's over. Let the war continue and allow Syria's future to be decided by Syrians.
