Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (06.01.12)
So do it already! And while the UN is hauling Assad's thugs to The Hague, they should ensure that they have a cell waiting for Bashar too. If these are not "crimes against humanity," I don't know what is.
2. just a civil wars between foes of Israel. Let them fight !

3. yada yada
(06.01.12)
so who will bell the Assad cat ? USA got cold feet...no oil in Syria unlike Libya, so not worth intervening, not to mention the few tons of sarin & anthrax Mr.Assad has.
4. The war crimes charges ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.01.12)
... would extend to the Iranian troops who are there "assisting" the Syrians as well, isn't that right? And any war crimes charges should be brought against the leadership of both Syria and Iran.
5. Regardless of Israel and US designs the..
Chris.B ,   Australia   (06.01.12)
attempt to dethrone Assad will cause more problems than it is worth. Someone in these countries must understand this. Having unstable and hostile countries surrounding Israel is not going to protect it.
6. May? it's a must
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (06.01.12)
Forces must face crimes against humanity charges..
7. Does awaite dictators get a pass?
(06.01.12)
"May Be Liable" what does this mean? Is bashar al-assad Accountable? How about persian terrorists Sent by The illegal regime in tehran? How about hizbullah terrorist sent By the Illegal regime in tehran sent from lebanon? Is pillay going to get assistance from goldstone? שבת שלום
8. The UN estimates that over 13,000 people were killed
david ,   montreal, canada   (06.01.12)
It takes just a couple victims to persecute Israel !
9. Iran and Hezbollah too
Rocque ,   USA   (06.01.12)
Iran and Hezbollah leaders are directly connected and should be implicated for crimes against humanity as well.
10. Nothing to lose, and #5
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (06.01.12)
Assad and his forces know they will die: whether by Sunni or US/UK/French troops it does not matter. If Obama wants thousands of innocent corpses to please the Saudis, he's chosen the best route: arm one side and corner the other side. If Obama cared about the innocents who have died and will die in this civil war, they could easily come up with a solution. #5: give credit where credit is due. It has nothing to do with Israel. This is the work of your friends the Syrians and Saudis.
11. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.01.12)
Well, Israel has the option of making those unstable and hostile countries go away. You do realize that, don't you?
