Friedman proposes arming and training the Free Syrian Army and doing our level best to accuse the high-ups in Assad's regime of war crimes. As he says:
We need to use every diplomatic tool we have to shame Assad, his wife, Asma, his murderous brother Maher and every member of his cabinet or military whom we can identify as being involved in this gas attack. We need to bring their names before the United Nations Security Council for condemnation. We need to haul them before the International Criminal Court. We need to make them famous. We need to metaphorically put their pictures up in every post office in the world as people wanted for crimes against humanity.I believe I've heard worse ideas.
