I believe it is in the best interest of the US to allow and even encourage the conflict in Syria to continue indefinitely. CMV.

I offer the following reasons:

The fighting in Syria has attracted many of the extremist jihadists from all over the world. It is in the best interest of the US to perpetuate bloodshed in Syria as a way to concentrate and exterminate those that affiliate with terrorist groups like al Qaeda. 

Having either the FSA or Assad gain full control of the country would end with a brutal dictatorship (and probably genocide) or a radical Islamist government. Neither of these results are acceptable. The US cannot get involved in the war without picking a winner. 

Furthermore, the Syrian war takes the heat off the US's continued killing of Muslims and  occupation of Muslim land. 

By perpetuating constant Muslim-on-Muslim violence, perhaps it will spur a movement amongst moderate Muslims who are sick of war to take a stand for secular democracy. 

The enemy of your enemy is your friend. Both the FSA and Assad are the enemy of the US, therefore they are both our friend. In order to maintain this status quo, the US must refrain from intervention.

Is there a finite number of extremist jihadis, or do their numbers tend to increase in times and places of great chaos and misery?

>By perpetuating constant Muslim-on-Muslim violence, perhaps it will spur a movement amongst moderate Muslims who are sick of war to take a stand for secular democracy.

Pure speculation. A theocratic Syria's bloody excesses could horrify the moderate Muslim community and produce the same result. A secular-dictatorial Syria might fund moderate Muslim groups in the hope of drowning out the extremists who threaten their stability. A peaceful, secular Syria could be the positive influence on the region that the neocons hoped Iraq could be. An AI-governed Syria could take over the world. Many things are *possible* or *conceivable*: what is *likely*, and why?



Additionally: Oil. Violence and chaos in the Middle East drives the price of oil up, and oil is the single most important commodity to a modern economy. The United States has very few priorities that are higher than its economy.
