Syria's "Peace Plan"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/28/syria-crisis-peace-plan_n_1384541.html?ref=world

The situation in Syria somewhat confuses and frustrates me. While President Assad has accepted a UN-sponsored peace plan, there has clearly been some sort of continued military action against his people. I admit I am not really an expert on any of the uprisings in the Arab region recently, I do know a few things about it. There has been a struggle between President Assad and his opponents for about a year. And this struggle is probably the most violent and has definitely garnered much attention from human rights activists. But if President Assad continues to oppress his constituents in such a violent manner, why has it been almost a whole year without any assistance to help the people of Syria? I'm not merely asking why the US hasn't somehow gotten the responsibility of handling it, but why the world is taking so long to call for such a despot's removal. As I don't know all that I can, I'm sure there is much more to it, but I would love to hear your thoughts about the issue.
