As I'm generally anti-war, it pains me to say that the only other option would be to include the predicatable international force, but any force I feel would need to be made up of other Arab states and have approval from Russia. Which I don't see happening, so I think Syria will need to deal with this internally.
Three questions:

1. Why such faith in the UN?

2. Why do you want such a diverse international force?

3. Thoughts on how Libya was handled?

I'm just trying to understand where your borders are for combat. I'd ask when you think force is necessary but I assume thats a longer conversation.
