Syria and the lack of action

[NotAllThere]

China and Russia cannot countenance interventions on a country's right to be beastly to its own citizens. I wonder why?

Not just to their own citizens either.

That is an excuse, they disregarded the UN before, when they went to Iraq. It's because Obama is looking for a second term, shameful.

WRS.

There are far more atrocities going on in the rest of the world not to mention that the US openly murders innocent Pakistani children on a daily basis with drone attacks.
Syria is the target because the US needs Syria to fall in order to attack Iran

...the US needs Syria to fall in order to attack Iran

I doubt it. The country is in such a mess that it's not going to have any significance on any attack on Iran. Now if the US had provoked this civil war, that would be another matter. I think your left-wing anti-US ideology is clouding your judgement.

That’s a sign of the abject stupidity of Assad. They’ve got oil and gas and lots of sunshine; they could easily be self-sufficient in energy AND export oil, gas and electricity, but the place is run by a loony.

We get bucket loads of rain but our reservoirs are always empty, it's alright though cos' we've got Dave.

I am wondering who exports the most arms to Syria, which they then use to kill their own citizens.

Strange that China and Russia object to UN interference.

I wonder...
