The readers and viewers who have been following Syrian news centering on the Free Syrian Army's FSA's intent and activities for leading Syria's citizens to a better life by taking down the stronghold of Assad and his regime, would know without a doubt that the FSA would not be the culprit in the Beirut bombings. Their target and principles of what they are doing center on Syria and protecting her people, culture, and land. It is absurd to think they would deliberately behave in this manner. What purpose would it serve? The Hezbollah, the Al-Nusra, and the other terrorist group now involved in the Syrian conflict have much more to gain in this behavior. Anything they can do to block or deter the good that the FSA is trying to accomplish would be their mission and has already been published online. The support to the FSA's cause right now is vital! If Russia cares about Syria, they should support the FSA and not Assad.
