We've done all that we can (actually short of pulling our forces out from Afghanistan, but we're getting there).

If they want "action," they should appeal to the UN (and watch Russia and China try to block any and all resolutions against Syria).

What does anybody else suggest the world do? The US can't do anything militarily - that would be a nightmare.

I think Obama has done a good job on Syria.
