harvey19 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 None democratic human rights abusing dictatorship... Other than that, nothing. Does oil figure in the equation also ? Obviously the government is supported by a large percentage of the population as they are opposing the rebels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 It has to be attempted. The scandal is that it had rumbled on this long without any will for the UN to get involved. ---------- Post added 07-09-2013 at 20:08 ---------- It's what happens after. So you want to have him up on trial for war crimes that you, what, imagine, will be committed? If the US launch a strike without proof and innocent people die then Obama should be up at the Hague for war crimes Not a war crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the final 9 months of the Sri Lanka civil war upto 75000 people were killed (UN have figures of up to 40,000). This barely made the news let alone air strikes or UN peacekeepers, or even sanctions to my knowledge. Chemical weapons aside, surely the question should be what makes Syria so deserving of wall to wall coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 So you want to have him up on trial for war crimes that you, what, imagine, will be committed? Not a war crime. Civilian deaths, injuries, suffering and displacement off the back of an illegal war of aggression 'justified' by inconclusive evidence. Absolutely that could qualify is a war crime. No doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Peace keeping. What else? Oh yes. The UN doing a great job just like they did in Rwanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Oh yes. The UN doing a great job just like they did in Rwanda It has to be tried. Provide a cogent argument as to why not. ---------- Post added 07-09-2013 at 20:55 ---------- In the final 9 months of the Sri Lanka civil war upto 75000 people were killed (UN have figures of up to 40,000).

Is it really go to destabilise the whole region? It hasn't really in the last year and a half two years. Turkey has done its best to keep the fighting outside of its borders despite having a humanitarian disaster dumped on it. Isreal have fired a few shots accross it's bows but its all contained. I'm not convinced it will spill over. Libya and Egypt didn't. Syria won't there are just more people dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPEN BORDERS Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 America (americas law makers and politicians) make me want to puke blood. They are determined to drag everyone into a nice big money making war. If they drop a single bomb on syria then Obumma should be arrested for war crimes.! And not President Assad ?
