Clinton: World must unite on Syria

Clinton: World must unite to stop Assad's war on Syrian people - HAARETZ.COM

Speaking to the 60-nation "Friends of the Syrian People" conference in Turkey, U.S. Secretary of State says she doubted whether Assad would ever adhere to a UN-sponsored peace plan.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton expressed doubt Sunday about whether President Bashar Assad would ever adhere to a UN-sponsored peace plan to end Syria's year of bloodshed, and urged world solidarity against a regime that she said was waging war on its own people.

Clinton told the 60 nations attending the "Friends of the Syrian People" conference in Turkey that no one could "sit back and wait any longer," even as the United States refuses to entertain military options to intervene in the crisis. Instead, she urged unity behind a plan that includes more sanctions, humanitarian aid, support for the opposition and the promise of justice one day for the Assad regime's willing accomplices in human rights atrocities.

Editor's note: Will Saudi Arabia be the next regime to fall?
