At present the country is engaged
in a minor form of civil war, that we can call a
confined civil war. If the whirlpool is to be calmed,
the regime still has the power to solve the crisis
by stopping the slaughter, withdrawing its troops,
releasing prisoners and inviting the opposition
(as represented by those part of the uprising) to
engage in a negotiated transfer of power. Without
this the current polarization of the country will
continue, the confined civil war will spread and
international intervention – perhaps under cover
of an Arab initiative – will be the inevitable result
with the consequent destruction of the country.
But will the regime see fit to act? Unfortunately
not, it seems. It will stay its course, pulling down
the temple on its own head and on Syria itself.

It is a terrible situation, and one we cant do much about. However tension between Turkey and Syria escalated after Syria shot down a turkisch plane.
Turkey has been pressing for NATO military action against Syria and the US. could find itself, however reluctently at war.

We have no business settling other countries problems. Let them fight it out. Let them resolve their own issues. It's none of our business. If my country ever went into a civil war situation, I would not want, say Germany, telling us what to do or getting involved in our civil matters. We should never have been in Syria in the first place.
