Are we monsters Jim, that we are incapable of being touched and offendede by such atrocities, and only use them to further some unspecified, monstrous objectives?

Any criticism of Russia for shipping in resupplies after Assad's expenditure of ammunition in Houla?

From Moscow Times.

UNITED NATIONS — A Russian cargo ship loaded with weapons is en route to Syria and was due to arrive at a Syrian port over the weekend, Al Arabiya television said in a report that Western diplomats in New York described as credible.

Syria is one of Russia's top weapons customers. The United States and European Union have suggested that the UN Security Council should impose an arms embargo and other UN sanctions on Syria for its 14-month assault on a pro-democracy opposition determined to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Syria has blamed rebels for thousands of deaths, including the killing of at least 109 people, including dozens of children, in the restive town of Houla on Friday.

Russia, with the support of fellow veto power China, has prevented the UN Security Council from imposing any sanctions on Syria and has refused to halt arms sales to Damascus.

"Al Arabiya has learned that a Russian cargo ship carrying a large amount of weapons plans to unload its cargo in the Syrian port of Tartus," the broadcaster said on its website late last week.

The report said the ship left a Russian port on May 6 and cited a "Western source" as saying it would dock at Tartus on Saturday. It was unclear Sunday whether the ship had docked.

"The ship is trying to conceal its final destination in a suspicious way," Al Arabiya said.

Western diplomats and officials said the report was credible.

In a letter to the UN Security Council, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he had seen reports of countries supplying arms to the government and rebels. He urged states not to arm either side in the Syrian conflict.

"Those who may contemplate supporting any side with weapons, military training or other military assistance, must reconsider such options to enable a sustained cessation of violence," he said.

Russia has defended its weapons deliveries to Syria in the face of Western criticism, saying government forces need to defend themselves against rebels receiving arms from abroad.

Damascus says Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Libya are among the countries helping the rebels.
