Simple? No.
Simplistic? Yes, and just a tad utopian in its simplicity, completely ignoring any geo-political consequences.
As I said before, neither the rebels nor any Arab country requested or desire a large scale US intervention.
The Arab League which had approved a no-fly zone is already condemned the broad bombing.

Every time we bomb and there are civilian casualties, we only increase the animosity towards the US.
Suggesting that the Preamble to the Constitution is justification for precipitous action to take out a foreign leader or invade a foreign country w/o the consent or support of the people of that country is just bizarre.
