#1 I prefer a long, bloody Syrian "civil" war. But, I thought, UN has different preferences.

#2 I suspect the UN in reality wants Assad to stay in power but wants to avoid the appearance of wanting Assad to stay in power.

#3 On second thought, I think Turkey's in the same situation. They can't afford to appear to be pro-Syria but they can sure talk about how horrible the regime is while they o so carefully avoid doing anything effective. Quel Horrible! If only we had a military!
