Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Saffron color for the banner was selection of Guru Hargobind (Indirect deduction. Gurmatt Martand, S.G.P.C., page 616) and was not blue to begin with. At the time of Guru Gobind Singh, the color of Nishan Sahib changed to blue, and Nihangs maintain the tradition. In the Maharaja Ranjit Singh period, Nishan Sahib was blue (Dr. Harjinder Singh Dilgir, World Sikh News, June 30, 1995 AD). After the Maharaja, may be under the influence of Dogras (majority environmental effect) it became white. Baba Naaena Singh and Akali Phoola Singh left the color of the Akali-Dal flag yellow, but changed Dastaar (see Dastaar) to antimony. Some use antimony color for Pharera (flag) which is not a tradition. They seem to derive this color from the color of the turban of Guru Gobind Singh. It is not clear as to how and when the color returned to saffron (A discussion with Dr. Bhai Harbans Lal, Arlington TX, USA). source: http://www.sikhmissionarysociety.org/sms/smsarticles/essaysonsikhvalues/ensignofdignity/

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Does Syria and WW3 matter to us as 'individuals' any more than other conflicts around the world? (Any crimes against a people or race are wrong) Our time on this earth has already been decided, we shouldn't worry about things that we cannot control. Better to focus on Akal Purakh...
