If they were tired, or if Obama was tired then he wouldnt announce plans to attack in Syria, would he? Im aware that there is no solution that would completely solve everything regarding the civil war in Syria, but there might be certain things that could be done by the US to reduce the violence or something. Its obvious that the US are being careful with what they do about this, and it requires time to think and plan things.

The problem is we can't fix the civil war with bombs. I don't think it would reduce the causalities nor make you any safer to do so.

I know that it wouldnt fix anything. The planned US attack on Syria appears to be more like a response to the use of chemical weapons than an attempt to solve or "fix" anything regarding the civil war there, and obviously it wont solve it. We also cant tell what exactly the result would be in the aftermath of a US attack.
