It's also one where the US government and military has been itself in opposition to Assad's forces. What then would be accomplished by rallying over it? People tend to get up in arms and out in the streets when their concerns aren't being addressed. They tend to be a lot quieter, even if they have major concerns, if they are. Sort of the concept behind "silent majority."
