Syria : An uprising gone wrong.

Seeing years ago, the protests start in Egypt, where people in numbers showed that they no longer wanted the current people in charge, in charge any longer, I said to a friend that this would start something, Egypt wouldnt be the first or the last protest of it's kind and that the world was about to change.

How right i was.

While for days in Egypt, there was trouble with "Supporters" of the people in charge, the people doing the actual protest were peaceful. Sure, they would respond if they started getting things thrown at them, but they stood their ground and made their voices heard.

As Egypt was getting closer to a big shift in power, other contries started showing the sign's of people wanting change. Here's where it got interesting though.

Remember mcdaffy? (I refuse to spell his name right, in my own little protest about him). Well, when people begun to call for him to come out of power, we saw things going slightly wrong. How? Because he sent the army after these people who were calling for him to come out of power. Now, things DID go wrong here, no doubt about it. It could never have been a peaceful protest while this man was involved because he was willing to fight to the death to stay in power. He went on the run.

Now, long story short, as we all saw, he got found and killed.


Great! we all thought..... Oh how we were wrong.

You see, while everyone's attention was drawn onto this battle, few knew that trouble was brewing in Syria.

Syria's people had seen the likes of Egypt and must have thought to themselves "Enough is enough for us too". They began their own little revolution, which was and still is, met with anger and violence from the government and the army of the country.

You see, it would appear that this government is the same as magblaffy, they will fight until the death to stay in power.

I really do hate to say this, but it's something like this which could cause a world war. Of course it might not be as bad as the first world or second world war, but the sign's are there to be read. There's still people dying daily because they want their voices to be heard, people are fighting to stop the suffering that these governments army's are causing.... Long story short, history could repeat itself.

So what can we do in the west?

We can push our governments into pressing for peace talks at first, now if these fail, then we can push for things like a no fly zone etc, if they fail, then the only realistic way that the government can be forced out is by intervention from around the world, not JUST the west!

Suffering like what we have seen is unacceptable and if it were happening in our own country, we would be asking for help, so it's only right that we offer help in times when it is most needed.
