Summary:
The violence in Syria continues even as the International
inspectors are located at the 20 locations that are connected to the country’s
chemical weapons. The UN is hoping to stop the violence between the rebels and
the government before the inspectors goes any further. The council met to
determine a solution on Thursday. The
French UN Ambassador and his counterpart wrote a letter to the council
promoting a joint mission by the UN and the OPCW that could be very dangerous.
As the inspectors work in the middle of Syria’s 30 month old civil war, more
people have been injured and/or killed. Recently, 28 people have been reported
killed in three different attacks as well as the 16 that were killed by a
government warplane. Throughout the violence and terror some have been able to
escape; Germany has temporarily accepted 106 Syrian refugees out of the 4000
that has been rescued.
Analysis:
The civil war in Syria is becoming similar to a cold war.
The level of violence and advancement of the weapons has taken it to another
level. The use of chemical weapons could cause more damage than what anyone is
prepared for. If there are sites that have chemical weapons, then there soon
may be biological weapons in certain locations, as well. The UN is doing their
best to be an ‘international police,’ but there is only but so much they are
able to handle on their own. If other countries do not step in, it may soon
affect more than just the citizens and those who are in the surrounding areas.
As I continue to say, this is a war that simply cannot be won.
