That doesn't mean that they're all the same - some are better than others and doing nothing is the wrong choice in my view.

You're wrong, they're no good options, better or worse. I know chemical weapons are bad, but they account for few deaths overall. A mass attack could open Damascus to attack and chaos. This is a CW, someone has to lose. If Assad goes, then the rebel groups will go to war with each other.
We can't get involved, because it's a lose lose for us. It will lead to another war, unless Obama just wants to prick attack for a political purpose. The only real answer is for a war, take out Assad, then take out the radical rebels. It would be long and costly like Iraq.
We don't need it. If we don't attack, maybe when it gets bad the UN or world will involve itself in the region, let us stay out of it....we're broke.
