Procrastination?
Why the assumption that "somebody, [perhaps us, or U.S. or whatever], should do something".
Yes it is dreadful but surely its an Arab problem ......... any outside intervention is resented for ever.
I think Hague is doing exactly the right thing, by attempting to lean on Russia. Any suggestion that we should do more risks lives, treasure and would create further enmity.
I hope the regime is toppled but would have little expectation for their successors to be much better. That's the way of the Arab world.
And sod the moral high ground, more like shifting sands.
