Stop it how exactly? Same way as in Libya? Same as Somalia? Same as Iraq? Same as Afghanistan? None of those plans worked, foreign intervention only caused massive civillian deaths.

Humanitarian organizations and international community pressure has been the only thing that’s managed save some of the lives of conscious prisoners & other forms of political opposition in Syria in the past 4 decades.

Well, Islamic countries can ignore all of the pressure and rage in respons with whines about religious/ethnical descrimination, that’s what they do generally when pressured.
People choose to stay there voluntarily. How difficult it is to listen to common sense - if the government gone screwed up and a major conflict is about to happen - leave the country. You can leave the country with closed borders and where military curfew is in effect, it’s not difficult. But for some reason they decide to stay.
They stay, they burn police vehicles and throw rocks at policemen. Government bombards them. That’s what you get for doing an uprising in a muslim country. Want to live differently - move.

Good night, Eli, have a good evening (:

1. The Syrian regime is supposedly socialist, not islamic. Syria is not an “Islamic country” and there has never been such fear of being discriminated against based on religion or ethnicity. The fact that we live right next to a country built on the remains of an ethnic/religious genocide against the country that used to be where it now is does not mean that we mistake Israel for any other country. In case you plan to accuse anyone of discriminating against Israelis, I think people know the difference between a regime and a people. Our regime does not represent us and the Israeli regime cannot possibly represent all Israelis. When our regime is usually pressured, it releases the political prisoners in question, tones down its violence, and then points fingers at opposition for being “agents for America” and at the international community for siding with Israel, just so you know our regime’s usual reactions for next time :)

2. SOME people choose to stay there voluntarily. Hundreds of thousands of Kurds have had no right even to have a nationality at all for the past 4 decades, they don’t even have a proper ID to get a job with, let alone leave the country ever. Opposition members who have somehow survived prison, torture and/or assassination also don’t have the right to leave the country. The many who want to leave the country are faced with the regime’s corruption not letting them have enough money at any given point of time to leave the country, and then faced by a million no’s when trying to get a visa to go ANYWHERE. The rest who want to stay in Syria probably do because it’s their home and they love it, and they probably believe that it’s the people from the inside who can change the situation if ever. Some feel unable to change it but particularly those people’s sons and daughters are the ones out on the streets right now, and they’re being shot at.

Is it the right of anyone outside of Syria to petition their government? I wouldn’t like it if someone in China helped decide the fate of America.

Yes, it is officially your right to say you are against the regime killing people in Syria, if you want. If you do, it will help stop the killing. That’s a fact. You are free to say anything you want. Amnesty International is an international, independent, non for profit humanitarian organization. International is for everyone helping everyone else on earth because we’re all humans, independent is for no governments whatsoever involved as in absolute neutrality, non for profit as in the sole goal is for humans to support other humans, humanitarian is for the support being so that there be more humane people than the inhumane, and organization because it is organized and has its power, credibility and impact on people and governments, particularly the inhumane ones.

Thank you

oh and, the protests have made the regime make many reforms that we never thought would happen, but the one reform it has yet to make is to become humane. If you feel you have no idea what is going on in Syria and yet find yourself on this post explaining to me what reality is, please check my previous post with many good links to comprehensive updates in English, or at least check #SYRIA on twitter.

Thanks luvluv

sorry not the one reform, actually all the reforms it made were fake. so yeah basically apparently we just need a new regime. maybe that’s why the tens of thousands of protesters have been chanting “The people wants to topple the regime” for a month now.

And thanks again, Puck, Sans, Anon & Jalex :D

that must be why the whole world is doing it.
