I absolutely loved this video and it really helps put a lot of current events into perspective. By giving the reasons why Russia was initially backing Syria up to why China could be possibly vetoing a resolution in the Security Council, really helps put things in perspective. I personally believe that America should see how far our diplomatic talks can take us to provide justice to Syria but I do think continual pressure should be put on the Assad Regime so that they feel the pressure and so does the entire international community. So many boundaries of human rights have been passed and crossed in Syria and its about time that a change occurs so that these atrocities cease and so democracy can be built. The government is built for the people, by the people but here, citizens and soldiers were killed for taking part in a protest for democracy. America just happens to be a big player and therefore its name is taken for any fall but this issue needs to be on the shoulders of the entire international community.
