"Is anyone reading this stuff? "
Bit difficult to comment really, as you have ruled out anything other than meaningless expressions of sympathy (which the Syrians have said they do not need) as anti-British and thread drift.
Perhaps if you lifted your veto on what we could and could not discuss and stop posting information that we can get by turning on the television or opening a newspaper (virtually all your cut-n-pastes have been lifted verbatim from the BBC website) you might just have a discussion. Alternatively, as you've ruled out a trade embargo, you haven't allowed discussion on the wisdom of selling weapons to terrorist states, you've suggested that the Syrian regime be sold riot control equipment.... and you've made no other positive suggestion whatever, what do you think should be done about the Syrian massacres (sorry, can't see the anti-riot equipment being a goer) - invite Assad to tea and give him a good talking to maybe? In the meantime, why not have a bath - your bath-tub must be just about full of crocodile tears by now.
