War is not the answer

Europe has shown its large heart by accepting refugees. They are coming round to a plan to ease the suffering of people fleeing war and persecution. But Assad is still in the saddle and the war drags on. More people will leave Syria if the crisis continues. It's a shame that the world cannot come together to end the war in Syria. Only a diplomatic solution will do. War is not the answer.
