I think it's Kissinger who once said: "It's a pity they can't both lose."

You either have Bashar Al-Asad allied with Iran/Hezbollah OR FSA allied with Al Qaeda/Islamists. That war is total fail.

Is the $1 billion in aide you are refering to is the money that is going towards Egypt? If so, we are giving that money to Egypt because it was part of the 1979 peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, as condition of Egypt not fighting Israel the U.S. promised to give Egypt economic and military aid money.

The only redeeming thing I've read about Al-Asad is he allows a measure of religious tolerance.

Yup, the fact that the country's Christians support him is somewhat telling. No good sides there, let 'em deal with each other themselves.

English is prevalent int pakastan and India b/c there are so many different languages. English has become a universal language for many reasons and so is used as a general second language for most.
