It would appear that chaos, anarchy, instability and the Fog of War are the conditions under which radical Islam extends its sphere of influence so creating more of it in Syria, Iran or elsewhere would appear to be unhealthy to both U.S. and Israeli interests.

Find out what these cats be smoking on and get me some.

Sir, it is pretty simple. Its not just normal Syrians going off to bomb people in Iraq without any government say. The regime is encouraging it and allowing them to go through with it. Destabilize that regime, and they got other problems to worry about besides for encouraging its citizens to go fight in another country.
