At one point, it really looked like the rebels were the "good guys". They were initially composed of defectors from the Syrian army who had refused to fire on protestors. As more time passes, it's unfortunately become a no win situation, as the country has become largely infiltrated by jihadists.
If the rebels win, you're going to see a real showdown. It'll be Hezbollah/Iran, the #####es, vs. this new Saudi foothold.
Both sides will continuously try to draw Israel into the mix. Hopefully, Israel can keep its own hawkish elements at bay.
