Since the Syria crisis erupted two years ago, the US-led West has been maneuvering for a regime change in the country, by hook or by crook. It seems they have a growing interest in implementing the Kosovo model right now.

The maneuvering of Western countries has not only fueled the violence in Syria, it has also sowed the seeds of discord among members of the international community and added to the difficulties confronting those who are making efforts to defuse the crisis peacefully.

Before the crisis takes a turn from bad to worse, it is high time the US learned from its past mistakes and reins in its wild ideas of military intervention in yet another country.
