Before this debate gets too heated for no reason, we already have proxies. We're supporting to some degree the FSA. The level of support we're providing is probably classified so we can't really debate it. Iran, Turkey, Saudi, and others also have their proxies. The bottom line is when you review our history of using proxies we don't have a good track record using proxies to achieve decisive effects. Unless we have the dominant proxy force we'll just prolong the fight and maintain some level of influence, but beyond that what exactly? If all we want is influence then good enough.
