Western countries attempt to silence Syrian always doomed to failure in the Security Council (UNSC) United Nations, especially because Russia and China thwarted. However, the use of chemical weapons are considered too far, so turn up the idea that Western countries attack Syria even without the blessing of the UN Security Council.
Western countries and the Middle East have been coordinated in Jordan yesterday to talk about Syria. The United States has pressed warships in Syria, preparing to launch an attack so order down.
"What we see in Syria last week shocked the world consciousness. Let me be clear: indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the murder of women and children and innocent passers by chemical weapons is a moral offense," said Foreign Affairs Minister John Kerry in terkerasnya comments about Syria, as reported by Reuters on Monday, August 26, 2013.

"The values of our humanity tarnished not only because they are cowards who do evil, but an attempt to cover it all," said Kerry.
Besides the United States, the UK has also been exasperated with Syria. British Foreign Secretary William Hague told the BBC that although the West has the potential to attack Syria without UN Security Council approval.
"Is it possible to respond to chemical weapons attacks without the approval of the UN Security Council? I say could," Hague asserted.
It is also agreed by the French who say that the response will be provided in a matter of days. "The only option that I do not support is not doing anything," said French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius.
Support also came from Turkey, France, Qatar, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Italy who had attended the meeting in Jordan. Turkey insists the government will join the international coalition against Syria despite the UN Security Council failed to reach a consensus.
Responding to this threat, Bashar al-Assad said he did not flinch. With the support of Russia, Iran and China, he firmly said that the charges were unreasonable and military aggression against Syria will fail.
"The United States will face a failure like all the wars that have ever lakoni them," said Assad
Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa condemned the use of chemical weapons in Syria which caused thousands of deaths of innocent civilians. It was raised Marty when he met Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations in New York on Monday, August 26, 2013.

UN Team Attacked
Unfortunately the UN investigative efforts in Syria overshadowed terror. Al Jazeera reported that a convoy of six vehicles carrying the UN investigation team was attacked by a sniper in the buffer zone between the Syrian fighters with government troops.
The incident occurred near the Syrian capital, Damascus, when a convoy of vehicles headed Moadamiya and Ghouta, the location of the alleged witness the deaths of thousands of Syrians due to the use of chemical weapons.
However, according to a UN spokesman, Martin Nesirky, none of the UN investigation team members were injured in the shooting. Replacement vehicle for the UN team was immediately prepared. The team finally managed to arrive at the two hospitals there to take samples and interview the victims.
Male 45 years it's been more than a year does not look his nose in Syria. However, he still believed so strongly in the Syrian military. In fact he was allegedly behind the attack on Ghouta chemical weapons that killed more than 1,700 people.
He was a Brigadier-General Maher al-Assad, brother of President Bashar al-Assad. The Guardian reported, in some ways, Maher plays an important role in the civil war in Syria than his brother.
Maher is a senior member of the Baath Party and the police occupy a central position in Syria. Another is the importance of the position of commander of the 4th Division Syrian Armed Forces since 2000, and the Republican Guard.
Since the beginning of the civil war broke out in syria 2.5 years ago, both the active forces troops stormed the mujahideen. Last week, both the re-enabled the division to conduct major combat operations in Damascus Syrian fighters.
In contrast to many other divisions defected troops, forces loyal Maher and cruel. Whereas in the first 18 months of the war, many soldiers are deserters for refusing to kill people. At that time, Maher is often seen by front-line soldiers, commanded the battle.
For example in March 2011, when Assad's forces pounded Deraa region. At that time, the middle of combat troops youth Maher calling Assad to step down. Here, Maher gave direct orders to shoot, make a soldier had defected.
"He visited us on a weekend there," said the former member of 4th division defected and fled to Istanbul, Turkey. "He told us not to shoot him with a gun, because they are friends. Instead, he told us to shoot people who are not holding a gun, because they are terrorists," said the man who declined to be named this.
"I do not immediately defected. He made us shoot them in the heart and head. Soldiers deliberately shot wide or be beaten up or killed," he said again.
This cruelty will not be forgotten by the people of Deraa who now mostly live in refugee camps in the city Zaatari, Jordan. "Maher is a devil. Because he personally wanted to destroy us because we oppose it. He gets pleasure from it. Did you see the video in jail?" said Khaled Othman, one of the refugees.
Prison riots
Othman refers Saidnaya prison riot in 2008. At that time, 400 soldiers taken prisoner by 10,000 inmates. Maher issued orders to kill, both prisoners and soldiers who were taken hostage were killed.
Maher uses his cell phone camera to record the corpses, some of them mutilated, some crushed his head. Sister-in-law Maher, Majd al-Jadaan, who lives in exile in Washington DC confirmed that it was taking pictures Maher.
She was last seen a few weeks before explosion at a meeting in Damascus, in July last year, killing Assad's brother-in-law, Assef Shawkat. Also killed in the incident defense minister and several members of the Assad government officials.
According to rumors, it was Maher also was at the meeting. Omar Abdullah, a former presidential spokesman who defected Syria last September said she saw Maher came to the palace with hardship and difficulties. Partially amputated legs and arms.
However, this rumor can not be confirmed truth. What is clear according to a senior Turkish diplomat, Maher is still alive and the military rule. "He still lives and reigns. Division 4 is still one of the best combat unit Syria," the diplomat said.
