How about decimate his war machine, air force, research facilities and missile launchers and missile storage sites! Then seek out the Butcher and his henchman And Hand Him Over To The hague??? No Boots On The Ground, assist On A All Representitive Government Monitor, and then Hold syrian national elections??? This All should have been discussed Over Two Years Ago??? Then DISBAND u.n. And kick russia to the Curb!
32. 31, well said, especially
CJK   (08.31.13)
DISMANTLE Iran's nuclear weapons program!!!
33. Syria
Walid ,   Spain   (08.31.13)
The West has proven that they are full of B.S words and have no balls. We can now look forward to a triumphant Assad who will have the balls to use chemical weapons again. Bravo!
34. Mr. President
Mira ,   Vienna   (08.31.13)
we can take care of ourselves, you only brought us shame so far, looking a the forced apology to your dear friend Erdogan and the will to try to force a crazy socalled "peace" unto us. Thank you Sir, we don't need your "protection", go and protect US and live us alone.
35. Syria
Walid ,   Spain   (08.31.13)
The West has proven that they are full of B.S words and have no balls. We can now look forward to a triumphant Assad who will have the balls to use chemical weapons again. Bravo!
36. UK rejection...
Raoul ,   Israel   (08.31.13)
of action against Syria nerve gas attack deprives them of a say in international disputes including the Israel/Palestinian conflict.
37. Just don't use the Israeli card so suddenly!
Obama! Do us a favor   (08.31.13)
Suddenly MR President, you're putting Israel center-stage by "protecting" it? You're TOO LATE for this fight! Now that your supposed Western friends left you, and after you left Israel to fight alone the European and American Islamist politicians, you woke up to the fact that you're predictably alone too! You based your politics on an islam-castrated EU, and on your Russian double-faced "friends" and discovered that whether you like it or not, Israel and the US share common values and humane dreams. Shortly after getting a second chance, Obama's USA proved yet again that it is a pathetic, unreliable ally. Let's see how this episode ends. As usual, history will judge.
38. a war crime and a crime against humanity
Cipora Julianna Kohn   (08.31.13)
the use of weapons of mass destruction is a war crime and a crime against humanity. it is therefore incumbent upon the civilized world to prevent, deter and punish those who would use weapons of mass destruction. this principle must be upheld at all costs regardless of public opinion or selfish state interests.
39. This moron would be very surprised how well Satana acts.
Miron ,   USA   (08.31.13)
It's so obsene to read this... How do I explain to my child that this man is a craving maniak who should be put away into mental instution?
40. UK
CJK   (08.31.13)
it must be said that the united kingdom has shot itself in the foot very badly. it has given a victory to assad the mass murderer and user of weapons of mass destruction. ed milliband has acted very selfishly on an issue of international principle and concern. those among the public who post on uk websites have shown a public which is cynical, lacking in morality and reveling in the failures of the prime minister. it is a shameful exhibition.
41. Maybe it's time the Turks ans the Saudis roll up>
HaifaGuy   (08.31.13)
>their sleeves and step up to it? And #26, this isn't our war. If anything, this is your cUntry's colonial heritage and if there's anyone who should deal with it it's your pampered ass. Oh, and the Frenchies.
42. Little Britain
Madeleine ,   Israel   (08.31.13)
Britainis too scared of upsetting its vast Moslem population. Britain hasn't yet learnt that appeasement has the opposite effect from the desired one. AndBritain certainly needed the U.S. to help it defeat the Germans. Cameron was a fool for going to the Commons; he did not need their approval but instead he shot himself in the foot. Do they get any stupider?
43. Attack is bad for Israel!
shira ,   israel   (08.31.13)
If obama attack; Israel will have to suffer from a lot of rockets – regular or chemicals from Syria We do not want to get involve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have enough rockets on us years from Hamas in Gaza & hizballa from Lebanon
44. #26 Cecil: in 2006 Blair and Beckett...
David ,   The Galilee, Israel   (08.31.13)
with the Bush Administration stopped Israel from finishing the job in the 2nd Lebanon War! Israel was attacked and bombed but the world turned on Israel as the "aggressor". Can you image what Cameron, Hollande, Obama & Co would say if Israel carried out a preemptive strike and upset the Arab world who own half of London and most of the USA? Cecil, the UK has NEVER stood by Israel and in the one occasion that Israel and the UK were on the same side, the 1956 Suez Crisis, the UK stabbed Israel in the back because or Arab abd US pressure! Your own SKYNews' experts are now saying that Britain is "irrelevant" and cannot stand up to Russia in the UN.
