To Interfere in weeping Syria or not?




I am from the UAE and I strongly believe that internal affairs and domestic problems in any Nation-State should be resolved domestically with respect to the UN Charter independence declaration with no interference from other Nation-States. However Lately on the news we have been hearing a lot of the killings in Syria. Who is the hero and who is the evil nemesis is a point that can be up for debate but we can all agree on the fact that killing innocent civilian is WRONG and ethically violates every sense of humanity. The souls and life of civilian is so cheap that killing off thousands without differentiation to whether they are involved in the pity combat to power is wildly spread. The lately Houla Massacre just proves the point where the Assad regime Killed more than 90 people, including 32 children. I can’t seem to get a believable excuse to why were the 32 children killed, it’s far likely that any of them were attacking the Alawites in power, kids don’t really care about power, money and religion, all they care about is love, food and playtime.

A chorus of international NGO’S as well as international organizations and Nation-States have all condemned the attacks and killing of civilians and children, however condemning alone will never solve this civil war in Syria. The whole complication is hard to comprehend for we foreigners to the State of Syria do not understand their deeply rooted heritage, belief systems and culture. Therefore taking sides is not doing them justice as the whole fight is a result of political power struggle. As brothers in humanity however something needs to be done to stop these killings without interfering in the internal affairs of the Syrian politics.

 That being said is it possible to really stop the killing in Syria using international force without interfering in Syria’s internal affair?? For from previous experiences this has never happened and any international interference has always brought in more complications to whether who benefits their Nation-State leaving the best interest of the Land and its inhabitant as the least important point when making decisions on an international level.
