I'm not an investigative expert, so I can't say for sure one way or the other. I can say that a civil war would be the worst outcome. It may finally lead to an end of Assad's reign, but it would also lead to many, many deaths, which could be prevented if a diplomatic approach could be taken. At this rate, though, I have to wonder if this can be resolved without the kind of conflicts we've seen take place in Libya and elsewhere in the region.
