   One of the five tenets of Islam is alms for the poor. I'm sure the rich Arab oil states are fulfilling this chartiable responsibility by alleviating the suffering of the refugees, as they should now and as far into the future as required. If fellow Arabs aren't concerned, it'll be a tough row to hoe persuading other nations they should care for the consequences of this mess.

   With a 30 million population this is humanitarian tragedy of massive proportions @chrissy and your sarcasm is well aimed.
   Perhaps these refugees would return to cheer our Tomahawks and Cruises?

   Assad, quit killing your citizens and negotiate peace. Your father's tactics are clearly not the answer.

   The same goes for the so called 'rebels'@banasy. Poor citizenry is bearing the brunt between the two sides.

     The rebels are our enemies. The government is our enemy. Nothing we do will improve our relationship with any of them.
     Send humanitarian relief for the innocent citizens; the truly blameless in all of this.

   Yes @ Jennifer this is an Arab and regional problem. And those players in the region who started all this should step up to the plate.

   The State deptt announced today, according to an article by Jason Ditz that Kerry called Netanyahu to reassure him of our intent to strike Syria.
   God knows we sold hundreds of billions of armament and hardware to S.Arabia and doled out the same to israel over the years. Let them tackle Assad as they are the ones responsible for creating this mess.

     Do you have clear proof that it was Assad, Hope? Because there are plenty of intelligence out there that says otherwise. Before we invade a country, we need to know that we're not being led down the primrose path to saisfy yet someone else's agenda.
     Humanitarian aid only until it can be irrevocably proved it was Assad. THEN we re-evaluate.
