The goal of a war is to win, and to win the opposing army must die.

That kind of thinking is the problem. It may be the goal of the various groups in syria - but it is not the goal of the USA. The way the USA wins is to have Syria become a US-friendly country that we can trade with without making ourselves into hypocrites about things like human rights and representative government.
