Opinion: No end in sight

"Syria can only reach stability if the United States begins to provide real material and financial support to the rebels, or if the member nations of NATO conduct a military intervention. The Syrian people also desperately need anti-tank and anti-aircraft rockets to defend themselves."
Of course, whenever those who would prefer the rebels not to be armed talk about external intervention, they tend talk exclusively about the second item here, when it is the real material support of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons that are the issue.
