It's not like they are proposing dropping twinkies on the rubble and hoping for the best. Since the US is militarily invested to some degree, it's could be a lot different than in Africa.
A safe zone in Syria would mean America and Russia at war, sooner or later.

You should look into the history of Ethiopia and Somalia. UN-organized shipments were "distributed" by forces with loyalties to this or that warlord. Care to venture a guess on who didn't get fed? That's right, move to the head of the class -- they starved the populations of the enemy-controlled area. We've seen that most recently in Syria, too, where Assad and the Russians have blocked or even attacked aid convoys.
Ugh, this is horrible! There are just so many evil people in the world. I just don't get it.
As much evil as there is in this world, there is good, too. The thing is to not give up the good fight.
