Masaalah pelik..

Membiarkan orang Siria berebut berbunuhan dan menhancurkan negeri mereka juga 
bukan option.

Tapi intervensi juga artinya ikut membunuh..

Al Arabiya -

A number of NATO countries are looking at several military contingency plans to 
intervene in the two-year civil war ravaging Syria, a newspaper reported on 
Wednesday.

Commander of U.S. European Command, Admiral James Stavridis, told the Senate 
Armed Services Committee that several NATO countries are looking at a variety 
of military operations to arm and assist the opposition fighters, according to 
UK based The Independent.

"The Syrian situation continues to become worse and worse and worse," Stavridis 
said, adding "no end is in sight to a vicious civil war."

However, to end the deadlock between embattled President Bashar al-Assad's 
regime forces and the opposition, the admiral said NATO must assist the latter 
group by using aircraft to impose a no-fly zone, providing military aid and 
imposing arms embargoes.

"We are prepared, if called upon, to be engaged as we were in Libya," he added.

NATO intervened in Libya to implement a U.N. Security Council resolution that 
called for the backing of opposition fighters against the late Libyan strongman 
Muammar Qaddafi and his supporters in 2011.

The military official said it is "necessary" to get U.N. approval before NATO 
assumes any military role in Syria.

While the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Ibrahimi, had hinted 
previously at the failure of finding a political solution to the Syrian 
conflict that has killed more than 70,000 people, he warned of the 
"Somalization" of the country.

He was referencing the aborted U.N. mission to Somalia which ran from 1992-95, 
the international community failed to revise the Somali civil war which began 
in 1991.

Regarding Syria, Brahimi said, "this is the gravest crisis that haunts the 
worldÂ…There must be a peaceful solution or Syria will become even worse than 
Somalia."

The admiral's statements came after Assad's regime and the opposition exchanged 
accusations over the use of chemical weapons in Aleppo.

The United States and the organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons 
(OPCW), an international anti-chemical weapons body, both said that there was 
no evidence that either Assad's forces or the opposition had used chemical 
weapons in any attacks in northern Syria.
