cressida Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-18224559 Hilary Clinton says it must stop and Obama is horrified - is everyone powerless to stop massacres like this because the UN cannot intervene due to two world powers voting against it, cannot there be a new UN Resolution to override this for humanitarian reasons?

mj.scuba Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 We (Western Powers) unfortunately will never be in the right on this issue. If we come to the aid of these people with a military intervention, the world's Muslims and our own left wing would be up in arms about more "Western interference" and "imperialism". If we allow it to continue, those same people criticise our inaction as more innocent lives are lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXTickerXX Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Russia have special forces in Syria training the Syrians to use the weapons they sell them.I`m sure the Russians would be none too pleased if there own troops starting getting bombed by America. "Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly previously said that Russian military and technical personnel were present Syrian and said his country will abide by existing contracts to deliver weapons to Syria despite Assad’s yearlong crackdown on the opposition. Antonov said Russia’s supply of weapons to Syria is in line with international law and will continue. “Russian-Syrian military cooperation is perfectly legitimate,” he said. “The only thing that worries us today is the security of our citizens,” Antonov said in a reference to Russian military personnel in Syria that are training the Syrians in the use of weapons supplied by Russia. He declined to say how many of them are currently stationed in Syria." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrplodge Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 i am not convinced that the government even did this. We are being manipulated by the media in what we hear. A large number in syria love the regime, what kind of idiot leader would do this. He is a well educated man. I may be wrong but i am not convinced, looks more like terrorists to me. Do people really believe soldiers who may have families there would do this. If it was out of site out of mind i.e tanks or bombs maybe plausible but bullets to the head no way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
