"A wise foreign policy," says Captain Renault. But is it? Over the past ten months Syria has slid to the brink of civil war. The opposition, once hostile to all violence, has started to take up arms that increasingly pour in from neighboring Lebanon. Aided by army defectors, it gains and loses control of small patches of territory, but it will not soon win the upper hand without more help. Some outsiders, including the emir of Qatar and a growing number of analysts at American think-tanks, have begun to call for military action. One argument for intervention is consistency: the bloodshed in Syria is even worse than it was in Libya under Qaddafi. Military action would satisfy the understandable desire to do something--anything--in the face of terrible suffering. But it is unlikely to bring the conflict to a quick or satisfactory end, not least because opponents of the regime are divided. Dissidents have formed clashing camps and defectors follow rival officers, each commanding only a few hundred men. There is no workable plan for an intervention.
