I'm disappointed there are no Tunisian or Libyan revolutionaries among those in Syria, because I think they have an obligation, now that they have rid themselves of decades old dictators, to educate and assist and even fight alongside the Free Syrian Army, just as the French supported the Americans during their revolution.
Of course when the American revolution reached France a few years later, the radicals took over, took things to the extreme and beheaded everybody, allowing the rise of Napoleon. That can still happen in Egypt and Syria, unless those who take over are faithful to what they say are the goals of the revolution -getting rid of the Assad dynasty, ending dictatorship, opening the economy to all, establishing some form of democracy and maintaining a secular society that is not dominated by any one group or religion.
While Hilary Clinton has been one of the biggest supporters of the Arab Spring revolts and seeing them through to an open, democratic societies, I don't think she would approve of using political assassination in any case, but I don't put it past others in the US government, and wouldn't be surprised if the evidence indicated that US forces actively supported the FSA, especially in arms and communications.
I think however, that being so close to where the ancient order of the Hashish Assassins originated centuries ago, the Arabs have no need to bring in outside forces to affect an assassination, as they were the first assassins.
