Yep, my opinion is stay well out of it.

People die every day, but we're not going to run out of people any time soon.

At what point should other countries, say under the auspices of the UN, intervene?

I really would like to see what geo thinks on this ?

Geo thinks TommyD has a good understanding of this.

Really good explanation.

For Dan, there was a hell of a lot of further killing in Bosnia after UN intervention and they watched and let it happen.

Do I think we should help the innocents? absolutely, however how do we achieve this without assisting some of the most vile people on one side or the other?

Surprised that gag hasn't been done earlier.  Personally, I'd like to see Napoli do well this year.

damned is you do, damned if you don't.

When they invade Israel for their chemical attacks then I will support an attack on Syria, alas that's never gonna happen.

How does Syria get solved without an intervention?

(genuine question)

(genuine question)

How do you solve a problem like Syria?

[kinboshi]

Does intervention need to be in the form of military aggression?

[TightEnd]

Does intervention need to be in the form of military aggression?

Not necessarily

I am just wondering how the situation resolves without the UN having to get involved?

Not making a political point here


the latest is

"US Secretary of State John Kerry has said Syrian government forces killed 1,429 people in a chemical weapons attack near Damascus last week.

Mr Kerry said the dead included 426 children, and described the attack as an "inconceivable horror".

He did not mention military strikes, and said the government would consult Congress leaders over the next step.

The government of President Bashar al-Assad has denied carrying out the attack and blames rebel forces.

UN chemical weapons inspectors are investigating evidence for the chemical attacks and will present their evidence to the UN after they leave Damascus on Saturday. "
