Middle East

Why is the world silent on Syria?
A couple of reasons come to mind. First, as events in Egypt have shown the outcome of the pro-democracy movements may well not be what many of us hoped for. What happens in Syria if the Assads are toppled?
Second, no one wants to provide anything like the the blood and treasure expended to toss Khaddafi from power in Libya. Certainly the US isn't going to get too involved and the same is true of most of the European nations. They feel like they've done their good deed for the day.
