alawites in danger from their own leader

Dear Lord,
Please pray for the alawite minority in syria as well as the ChristiansThey need to ask for President Assad to stand down rather than defend themselves using chemical weapons.

That would only illicit western arming after a UN security council resolution for the rebels who are now recognised as teh legitimate government. Bothe sides are short of food and medical supplies so a peace conference and constitutional convention are better than further loss of life.

Amen
