Too many people who say this actually not wishing for any UN military intervention.

I understand it's meant as sarcasm but the irony is tantamount to hypocrisy.

For me the Syrians fleeing their own government crackdown deserve some kind of help be it humanitarian aid in Turkey and perhaps some kind of international political pressure on Assad regime to even military intervention.

But to be realistic, military intervention would not be the best option considering Syria's military might and the potential that international military intervention would rally the Syrians military and more people to Assad besides the state of the west gloomy monetary background.

Sometimes the best way to prove someone is wrong is to let them continue doing wrong making him a fool in the eyes of the world, gaining shame and losing his credibility in the process both to his own people and on the international stage.

The world will not forget what happened and is happening in Bahrain and Syria. These regimes have lost their credibility. They have become a laughing stock. They may be too thick skinned to admit that but make no mistake they know that.

Just picture this: Whenever the Bahrain king came into a room everyone would think 'look the king who prosecuted doctors for saving the lives of his own people'. Not a very noble impression I tell you. The right word is 'deflated'. Any decent investor now would think twice before investing in Bahrain, knowing what kind of regime they are dealing with and the volatile political atmosphere that prevails there thanks to a rule basing on fear and persecution.
