International positions

Turkey and Norway closed their embassies in Damascus. The United States are against any military intervention and have decided it was not time to intervene in Syria yet, so they declined the propositions Turkey made about buffer zones, humanitarian corridors and arming the FSA. Which led Turkey to pull back. Meanwhile, the Arab League is meeting in Iraq without the opposition, and they refused Iran and Turkey's proposition to join them. The Arab League has already announced they would not ask Assad to leave.

Assad agreed to follow Annan's plan, that mainly aims at a mediation between the two sides. But agreements have already been signed with Assad before, he's said he'd stop the violence, but not until he's stopped terrorism. And Syrian demonstrators are terrorists to him, women, men, children,... He's still bombing Damascus, Hama, Homs, Idleb and Daraa. At the same time, Lavrov and Annan are saying the international community should not take sides in the Syrian conflict, even though Russia already sent men and weapons to Syria.

At present, no one reacts. Why ? Because Israel's security comes first for the West and the US, and themselves have no interest intervening in Syria. And Israel says it's worried about the future, about who will be in power and have access to the "chemical weapons" it thinks is in Syria. Arabs are mostly under dictatorships, so they won't react either. Iran needs Assad, its only ally in the region, so it gives him weapons and tanks. Russia and China are officially against any intervention. And Turkey won't be the only one to react. So who can help ? The people. You, we, Syrians and people from the whole world. You're the ones who can help us.
