Broken/Special:Badtitle/NS100:JamesMoore/How The Syrian Civil War Could Have Been Prevented
The Syrian Civil War started in March 2011 beginning with peaceful protests and eventually armed rebellion. It is understood that the main reason for the start of the protests is that the people rightly wanted an end to the dictatorship of the Ba'ath Party headed by Bashar al-Assad. The Syrian military started the violence by firing upon the protesters and it escalated from there to full blown civil war.
Since then it is estimated that approximately 100,000 men, women and children have been murdered and millions more turned into refugees. How could the United Nations Security Council allow this war and the suffering of innocent human beings to occur? It seems obvious to me that it is a combination of:
- the clash of differing political ideologies (interference or non-interference)
- human greed for power (the power of using a veto)
- human greed for money (the sale of arms and other products to Syria)
- the lack of empathy, love and respect for our fellow human beings of Syria
All these points clearly show what must be changed in order to bring about an end to the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Syria but perhaps it must be spelled out. From the information to be found in the article, World Peace and Multinational Peace-Fighting Troops that the following actions need to be taken as soon as possible:
- A many million-strong army of peace fighting troops must be formed to be the only army on Earth
- It must be multinational and apolitical and have the aim of using proportional and logical force to end all violent-uprisings or rebellions and all criminality.
- It should also have a secondary aim of providing humanitarian aid such as food transportation and evacuation.
