I'll tell you what happened in the US dureing our break away from Britain in 1776. We did get help from France near the end..But they didn't give us Public support until we could proove to them that we could defeat a British army, on the field of battle, on the British army's terms.

International support will more than likely only be supplied if the Syrian alliance or whatever those groups want to call themselves actually meet the Syrian army in battle, on the Syrian army's terms..and wins. That's going to be a very difficult road to tread.
