#1 Very sad to say, but "humanitarian disaster" as used in this context is a both a short and long-term dividend. The only reason we're not wading fully in is the bear, and I quietly wonder if perhaps we are not in discreet communication and agreement with him.

#2 I think that since the Saudis are purchasing weapons somewhere and sending them through Jordan, the US really doesn't need to do anything about that part of it.

With respect to providing nonlethal help, well that won't make us many friends in the rebel ranks but we wouldn't have many friends anyway.
