After the U.S. decision not to attack the Syrian regime, questions and skepticism started to emerge about the U.S. strategy in Syria.
If street violence undermines the nation's security and stability, the country might end up short of a stable environment to build a more democratic political system.
The international community has to be more sensitive to the issue of Syrian refugees in Turkey and other neighboring countries and more supportive of these countries that now host millions of refugees.
U.S. officials are eager to point their fingers at Turkey and blame Ankara for its inaction in the crisis in Kobani.
Turkey is going through challenging times from a number of angles, but fortunately, there is sufficient political and administrative capacity as well as crisis management experience to overcome these challenges.
