Qatar became the first country to call for military action in Syria to stop the killing. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani told US television channel CBS "some troops should go to stop the killing". This is the first major step from an outside country in an effort to prevent more civilian deaths. Over 5,000 people have died in Syria since the violence broke out in March. The Arab league has dispatched 165 observers to monitor the conflict however any attempts by the UN have been stopped by Russia and China who fear another NATO plan similar to Libya. As the situation continues to worsen and violence continues to rise in Syria the country might slip into full on civil war.
