Us Lebanese can barely deal with our own problems :P. Anyways in general I disagree with most military interventions (especially NATO and Western interventions). To be honest it's a very complicated and sensitive situation, and Bashar has put it past the point where there could be a peaceful outcome unfortunately. TBH I don't know what needs to be done. Do you leave the Syria alone and see how things balance out? Or do you deal with it right now?
Anyways as a Lebanese, I can honestly say that the Arab league right now are just absolutely disjointed. Qatar is by the far the biggest influence now, but you also feel they do have their alterior motives. That said, an Arab intervention would be the last thing that will happen, and Israel are quite happy to let things continue like that in Syria. Turkey is the only country I see that can actually do something if they commit to their cause.
And trust me guys, Saudi Arabia won't do shit! They'd just call for Western troops
