Broadsword:

Simplistic and disingenuous. It is an attempt at distraction by those who wish to divert attention from punishing the most horrendous breach of international law in recent history.
Your arguments are worse than "disingenuous"... It is against international law to target civilians, (though how you manage that in a civil war I'm at a loss), but around 10 times the number have died by conventional means that died by unconventional ones but I didn't see you bleating then... I suppose, in your mind, it's ok to shred a few civvies and their kids with shrapnel yet leave them alive or maybe your preference is the horrendous burns inflicted on the same. Either way we heard bugger all from you about it over the last 2 1/2 years... Funny how thay outrage works eh?

Like Egypt and Libya, sometimes having a dictator in place that is either pro your country's interests or at least scared to get into conflict with you is better for them, better for their people and better for the region. As we have seen in Egypt and Libya when the dictator is simply removed the vacuum is usually filled by the group you least wanted, the people really don't need and the region detests...

You keep going in that silly, weak, socialist utopia of yours. The rest of us would prefer that you take yourself off to the quiet corner for a long time...
