I'm not a starry eyed idealist (most of the time) to think everyone can hold hands and bring peace to the world, but there has to be a peaceful resolution to this somehow.

A civil war is the absolute worst thing that can happen now as that will only bring unimaginable misery and horror to those who are already suffering on all sides of this conflict. Those who stand to profit the most, both politically and economically, will stand clear while shouting the loudest as usual while the most vulnerable and least inclined to commit violence will get caught in the fire.
