The Arab states are quite fond of urging others to fight on their behalf. If going to war with Syria is such a driving need for them, the Arab Leage can form an international coalition to get the job done.

In Libya, Obama said we had to act because our “partners” (mostly European) asked us to.
It would (I hope) be a much tougher sell to say that we must act because our partners in the Arab League have authorized it.
Let them kill each other, It is simply Allah’s way of culling the herd.
Fine, let the ragheads act!
We should encourage the Arabs to annihilate each other and pour short range arms into the area after fencing it off.
Not a realistic solution, but a comforting fantasy...
