By the way Mike - I suppose you are aware that Russia's and China's excuse for taking the stance they are on Syria is identical to your argument - that it is wrong for any country to interfere in the internal affairs of another

They will interfere in any country's affairs when it suits them.
They are lying hypocrites.
The real reason for their stance is their own self interest, and the suffering of the people counts for nothing.

So Jim, are you closer to their non intervention (other than arms supplying) stance, or US, UK and other Western countries who are trying to get Assad out of power?
