The instability in Syria is causing instability elsewhere. The Arab Nations want action, not stall tactics.

I love those words.  "...shoulder its moral responsibility..."

Isn't it time for all nations to shoulder their moral responsibility and act to end violence and nuclear proliferation, especially the threat of it?  Isn't?  This isn't even a leap of faith.  This is about protecting a country's people by instilling the demands for nuclear non-proliferation and the end to totalitarian regimes?  This isn't that difficult.  It is a matter of actually putting a nation's security first before compromising it to economic priorities.  

Every nation on Earth understands how important economic stability is and for that reason alone protecting the peace is absolutely the best priority to ending economic loss.  There ain't nothing worse than war, especially nuclear war, to completely devastate an economy.

Look at Japan.  They weren't even in a war and their nuclear capacity has disabled entire areas of that country.

So is kidding so here?

Ending violence, instilling a sense of democratic principles to empower people that have believed they are helpless to shape their future and shoring up economic stability IS necessary.
