Today we have the Western Leaders getting their collective knickers in a twist over the recent events that have occurred in Syria. The latest 'twist' is the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime, during which attack thousands of people died. Surely the point is that thousands of people died, not who caused their deaths.
The U.N. weapons inspectors were fired on, presumably, to stop them finding out whether it actually was a chemical attack, what was the chemical used, and, if possible, who originated the chemical attack. Who would want to stop the inspection? Clearly the originators of the chemical attack.
The U.N. are clearly 'dragging their feet' by not coming up with a sensible suggestion to deal with the sorry situation in Syria, where hundreds of its' citizens are killing each other by the bucket load. All attempts have to be used to stop BOTH sides. America seems to be favouring 'surgical strikes' by missiles, the American public being understandably unwilling to commit ground troops to a fight in foreign fields. Britain has been making lots of troops redundant, and I doubt a sustained action by troops could be maintained. America, with its' side-kick, Britain, should leave the role of the World's Police to the U.N., but until the Russians agree to a course of action, the options are severely limited,
