That hasn't worked. Why?
Because China Russia and Iran have vested interests in weapon sales, and want their sphere of influence in that region to continue.
If they really wanted peace, they could outright ask Assad to resign, eh?

Saudi Arabia and Qatar could apply pressure for the rebels to stop, but they wont.

#7: White phosphorus in Fallujah, 2005
During the murderous assault on Fallujah in 2004, the U.S. military used white phosphorous chemical weapons as part of its campaign to level the Iraqi city, ultimately forcing 300,000 people to flee their homes. Although the Pentagon still officially denies that it used this brutal weapon, they are contradicted by countless eyewitnesses. One Marine who fought in the battle remembered, “I heard the order to pay attention because they were going to use white phosphorus on Fallujah… Phosphorus burns bodies, in fact it melts the flesh all the way down to the bone... I saw the burned bodies of women and children.”
Yep the US is there, but who is the bigger wolf in sheeps clothing ?
Saudi, and their 'allies' going after Syria because they have long plotted against Assad.
