"GIVE the bastard an alternative to the deadly, lethal weapons he already has."
You've had it and rejected it - unilateral armed intervention as happened in Libya, boycott, ostracising the bastard - and most of all, removing the right of veto from countries who have abused it China, Russia, the US, for example.
Listen to what the Arab League is saying - listen to what the Syrian opposition is asking for - it's all here.
YES - NON LETHAL WEAPONS CERTAINLY DO PRESERVE THE STATUS QUO _ THAT IS WHY THEY ARE BEING SOLD TO ARAB DESPOTS BY BRITAIN AT THIS VERY MOMENT
What the **** d you think is going to happen if Assad wins - a revenge driven bloodbath of mammoth proportions, the crushing of any possible opposition with the aid of British equipment if you have your way.
AND YOU ARE SUGGESTING THAT BRITAIN BE PART OF THAT BY HELPING QUASH ANY OPPOSITION
As I said - a fascist solution, making your proclaimed sympathy for the Syrian people the mealy-mouthed bullshit that it has always been - as was your concern for all those "poor young women"
I have what I came for on this thread - the expose of a supporter of war criminals - perfick
