us perspective
The US believes that Assad is not qualified to lead Syria, and so Assad should therefore step down from power.
The US also condemned Russia for vetoing the UN resolution, and increased its weapon supply to the rebels in response to Russia's heavy weapon supply to the regime.
The US became outraged when it learned of Syria's chemical weapon use, and even threatened to invade Syria's borders in order to take the chemical weapons away. Chemical weapons pose a threat to not only the Syrian people, who must suffer through sarin gas attacks, but also potentially to America. Fortunately, the US dropped its threats after Syria agreed to give up its chemical arsenal.
