The Syrian problem needs to be dealt with by the Arab league and their neighbors such as Turkey, Lebanon and Israel. Not NATO. Not the UN.

Did you seriously just say Israel should intervene in Syria?

That would be fun to watch from a theoretical perspective, but damn, if they actually did that. No-one's really in any position geopolitically to take responsibility without mass repercussions. NATO could pull it off with the fewest repercussions, since Lebanon is rather accepting of peacekeeping forces and Israel is aligned with them and Turkey's a member and Iraq and Jordan at least shouldn't have many objections

The Arab League can't pull in because of Israel, and Israel can't go in because it would tear the region apart.

I am saying that resolving the Syrian issue must be dealth with by Syria's neighbors, not leaders in far away countries. Yes, Israel should help deal with it - even if its not in a significant way.. I know we both know that Israel couldn't do too much, but I think it could do something to help.

Right now, Turkey and/or Saudi Arabia are about the only two notable regional powers that may have the ability to do anything from a size/clout perspective.
