Why is the world fighting over Syria?

From the Washington Post comes this article: “A mini world war rages in the fields of Aleppo”

A slice: “Syria’s civil war long ago mutated into a proxy conflict, with competing world powers backing the rival Syrian factions almost since the earliest days of the armed rebellion against President Bashar al-Assad.”

A better question would be: why is the United States arming murderous rebels against Assad?  The political class is begging for a wider World War, it seems.
