Slaughter in Syria


While I agree with those who would be most reluctant to put UN or NATO troops on the ground in Syria, the carnage of innocent people in that country is getting so dire that it cannot be ignored, and the apparent use of poison gas on women and children was particularly barbaric.

If it is proved that the Syrian government did this, the UN must look for an effective means to dissuade them from repeating this kind of atrocity.

like i said earlier I just hope the press has jumped to a rash conclusion.

It doesn't sound at all likely that they have, I'm afraid.

Though after the dreadful mess that Britain and the USA got into over Iraw, there will be an understandable - and indeed entirely justified - wish for some pretty solid proof that the atrocity happened and who was responsible before any irrevocable action is taken in reponse.
