#1 The best idea I've heard about Syria is this:

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Jordan have large well equipped armed forces. If they want Assad out they have the power to do it without involving anyone from the west.

Oh, they're afraid of Iran and Russia? Too bad, so sad.........I'll make the pop-corn.

#2 If the Musilim bloc wants to topple Assad then there imust be a reason for us helping him.

#3 Of those I'd only care about the Jordanians opinion. Their ear is 2nd only to The Wally and have a keen sense of what it takes to live with a bunch of rough and rowdy neighbors. If they ask for help go, but I bet they won't ask in this instance.
