Syria: a civil war (closed)

[Dayuhan]

... for clarification on some points.

So where to apply the pressure?

Opinion: On Assad’s inner circle and the military units involved in the mass atrocities.

How do you propose to apply this pressure, and what end do you expect it to achieve?

Opinion: The more weapons that find their way into the hands of the opposition groups the more difficult it will be to bring an effective cease fire into effect. Hence my opinion that opposition groups should not be armed and the urgent need to bring the Assad regime to heel.

If the proposal is to remove the regime without arming the rebels... in your opinion, would it be possible to remove the regime purely with air/missile strikes, or would you propose an actual invasion... or is there a third option?
