Subject: RE: BS: Homs horror
apply censorship because the counter-arguments don't suit someone's particular political outlook

You made no counter arguments Jim!
I just objected to you, for your own devious political motives, changing the subject from events in Syria to arms sales to other countries.

your proposal that Britain could sell Assad anti-riot gearto keep his people in line
Non-lethal equipment does not keep people in line.
Demonstrators live to continue the struggle.
Their cause gets global coverage and gains support.
You prefer lethal bullets be used to kill and demoralise them.
Hospitals trawled for survivors and protest suppressed.
You are a fascist Jim.

Today, Red Crescent allowed into worst effected parts of Homs.

In a unanimous statement yesterday, the UN Security Council expressed its "disappointment" that UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos had not been granted authorisation to visit Syria, and demanded immediate access for her.

Russia and China, who vetoed two previous Security Council resolutions on Syria, also backed the call.
