I remember all the discussions on Libya. I wish with all my heart that someone can step in - maybe by getting Syria to turn over their chemical weapons to the US for an agreement that the US not attack (and maybe not provide any military aid to the rebels). That would address the issue of chemical weapons and the issue of the US being involved.

Did you see this article? http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/25/opinion/sunday/in-syria-america-loses-if-either-side-wins.html The author has supposedly had the thesis that the US makes these civil and regional wars worse when they intervene.
