For more than one year revolution ignites Syria, a revolution began with peaceful demonstrations against the dictatorship of President Bashar Al Assad, who turned into a civil war, that day after day reaps an increasing number of victims. The non-intervention by the international community is a sign that the Syrian war, is an orphan revolution because unlike countries such as Libya and Egypt, where the interests of other nations were evident and led the international community to action almost immediately; the Syrian crisis is the balance for the geopolitical stability of the surrounding nations such as Lebanon, Iran and Iraq, a balance that many are afraid to break even due to the lack of economic interests.
