The only countries I know with really big stakes in this are Turkey and Jordan. They're taking the refugees in, so is Iraq.

Lebanon may be doing so as well. But Turkey is the one who has been calling for Assad to be gone for a long time. And they are in NATO, just like the US and France and a number of other nations.

I think the best solution is for the UN to get in there. If the Russians don't trust the USA or other nations to treat their friend Assad well, they could send in their people along with other nationals.

The goal is to stop the killing. Calling the UN is the simplest solution. IMO.
