It seems to me the US/UK/NATO have finally 'settled' on their 'rationale' for direct intervention in Syria - it will be the use of chemical weapons by 'someone'. Who used them - or if anyone used them we'll not find out until a few years after we've flattened the place with carpet bombing et al. and set up a puppet government - that's my guess. Very sad state of affairs. Many, not all, Syrians wanted real democratic and peaceful change - but not this kind of carnage - and it seems there is much more to come! As in Iraq, the 'West' knows nothing of the history and important acheaology - let alone the culture and the PEOPLE [they are real!]. Alepo is one of the oldest continuously lived in cities in the World...now all but destroyed. Ready for urban renewal, strip malls and a Walmart. Ah, who cares, the World is just a 'chessboard' anyway....and we play for keeps.
