The UN is the obvious point of contact here. And I don't like this, but I don't think that staying out will make the nessessary negotiations any easier. Especially when you consider the possibility that the result of negotiations could well be yet more joint military action.

We've long since reached the point with Syria where we aren't so much looking for the best solution as the least worst.
