...Russia has one ability no one else does:

Threats of weapon cut offs...

and more importantly the contacts likely to conduct a Coup...

Not to mention a machiavellian head of state named Vladimir Putin.

Here's ONE thing NOT to do -- rely on the United Nations to come up with a viable solution.

UN observers in Syria suspend patrols

UN - what is it good for - absolutely NOTHING...
