Though it might be a good thing for the Syrian civilians, I don't think, an intervention on the part of U.S. troops is an option, because that would be another arab nation on the list of the most recent U.S. operations.

Yes, I think, the situation in Syria should be stopped. I understand the Chinese and Russians have their own agendas in stopping the intervention by the U.N. security council, but I still can not "understand" them running their own agendas while innocent people are dying - then again, one might argue, it's not their citizens getting killed.

And as for Hamas and Hizbollah, they are not always the bad guys, though their actions are generally seen as terrorism. I know, the U.S. have good relations with Israel, which leads to the fact, the Israeli get away with a lot of things they would not get otherwise. I mean, there's hardly any other people riding on their past grievances like the Israelis, albeit their past grievances were a real issue - one would only think, they'd have a more sympathetic approach to people as a result.
