The war has now hit Turkey. Russia still against intervening and probably China too.

Turkey asks U.N. Security Council to act after Syria attack

Oct 3 (Reuters) - Turkey on Wednesday asked the U.N. Security Council to take the "necessary action" to stop Syrian aggression and ensure that the government there respect Turkish territorial sovereignty after a mortar bomb fired from Syria killed five Turkish civilians.

"This is an act of aggression by Syria against Turkey," Turkish U.N. Ambassador Ertugrul Apakan said in a letter to the president of the 15-nation Security Council, Guatemalan Ambassador Gert Rosenthal.

The whole middle east with the exception of Israel is a war zone already practically. Not somewhere I would want to live these days.
