A friend passed along this wonderfully (un)insightful petition to stop the violence. Note the firmness of the stand taken in the text:

If only diplomats had thought of this before! A petition! To stop the violence! In fact, if only we could soften the cruel visions of violence with cute captions, in the style of ICanHasCheezeburger. Let’s give it a shot:
Man. Solving international crises is exhausting. I’m going to go take a nap.
