Well if you consider the track record of revolutions, the path to independence is always paved with blood and very rarely do revolutions work by themselves without some form of military support either domestic or foreign.
Looking at the Syrians if NATO hadn't given air support the rebels wouldn't even stand a chance to come so far.
If so is still so much cheaper. Also Isreal will not be directly involves which is the main point. With this week rial hit on Iran, looks like there is high probability for iran to back down or face revolt.
