I don't see how this slaughter can end without intervention by NATO and Arab League air power. Begin by bombarding Damascus day and night with sonic booms for a few days to put the regime on notice that more will come if they don't ceasefire, allow aid in, and begin discussions with opposition leaders. Most likely Assad will not respond to this. Then attack the Syrian air defense system, followed by attacking and destroying the air force, then attack command and control including the presidential palace. Attack tanks and artillery when they are in the open. All this would encourage the oppostion and accelerate defections by the Syrian forces. There would be collateral damage but opposition forces would surely prefer some loss of life this way rather than continue to be slaughtered by the superior Syrian forces.
I would like to see Iran offer unlimited monitoring of their nuclear program by the IAEA in exchange for Israel ridding itself of nuclear weapons. In the spirit of a non-nuclear mid-east! It would be interesting to see Israel and the US react to such an offer.
I have wondered for a long time why Iran doesn't make more of an issue about the Israelie nukes. They should tell us that they are willing to stop their nuclear weapons program (which they don't admit to having) and allow verification inspections when Israel is willing to rid itself of nukes and submit to verification inspections.
