I read a couple of your links but I'm guessing they are all more or less saying the same thing?

There are moderate forces everywhere in Syria, in fact there are more than 1,000 different armed groups presently fighting, including IS, which isn't moderate at all. Its not that these forces don't exist, its identifying them that's a problem.

What we do know is, both Russia and Iran are out to protect Asad and they are ready to attack any opposing force. Whilst the West want to target the extremists 'IS' and rightly so, Russia wants to target any of the opposition.

How do they do this when so many moderates have gone to ground? by bombing hot spots where there is clear civil unrest towards the Syrian government and allies.
