Pressure Mounts for Syria

Pressure Mounts for Syria
The UN is proposing to increase their military observers in Syria in order to try and get a better sense of what's going on inside the country, as well as, try to keep the peace there. The UN wants to send 300 military observers to 10 different cities and give them the freedom to roam about the country to view the violence firsthand. The U.S. has also had meetings to discuss possible peace plans and draw up a military response should peace not be attained through diplomacy. At the Friends of Syria Conference in Paris, the U.S. also proposed using sanctions as a way to lift the violence in the country. China and Russia were missing from this conference, as they are opposed to any type of sanctions being weighed on Syria.
