Cease Fire in Syria

Civilians are still being killed in Syria and the UN is requesting a cease-fire. Russia and China are still protecting Syria, although the UN hopes that they will soon stop their support. The people of Syria are attempting to instate their own president and are asking their current president to step down. If the people win, which they should, Russia and China will probably lose the support of the people. The current president is attempting to beat down the people and remain in power. We have seen the situation in Syria before, and the people need help. Those who are giving weapons to the government are being requested to stop. This situation needs to change and the people need a voice. The government is meant to protect the people and these people should be able to have some power over their own government. Hopefully this will all smooth out soon.
