In reply to the discussion: If Assad uses Sarin gas, what should the response be?? [View all]Ikonoklast
(23,973 posts)as their revolutions haven't actually run their full course yet, I would think that asking them for their help on behalf of the Syrian people in their struggle to overthrow Assad, even if only a symbolic gesture is offered by their respective governments, is the correct course of action.
It would be a good diplomatic move on the part of those countries that want Libya and Egypt to be succesful states to include them in whatever way they can, and let them determine on their own exactly what level of involvement they want in helping the Syrian people.
Even if it's just speeches at the UN in support of letting the Syrian people decide what form of government they want, let the people that actually live in the region have their chance to help.
I would hope that they would go for it, people like to be asked for help; and no matter how modest the form of that help may take, people are also glad to have it offered to them.
It makes for good neighbors.
