well they (and Chinese) did use Veto power to avert sanctions on Syria
a move i commend.....sanctions only aim to punish an entire country. We saw how much results they brought about in Iraq in 1990s! (sarcasm)
Syria is a difficult case b/c on one hand, we must recognize that this is an internal matter; but on the other hand, when you're dealing with over 2,500 deaths on mostly unarmed protestors --situation where everyday 25-50 people are gunned down by non-uniformed security personnel--one must ask for how much longer can we sit on the sidelines without doing anything. . .
i'm in close touch with a friend in Damascus -- the only thing the protestors have in common is that they want Assad out. As is the case in Egypt, there is some polarization on "best way forward" (i.e. debate amongst salafist rightists, moderate Islamist, secularist, centrists, socialists, etc.)
Assalam alaikum
Those regimes have oppressed their own ppl, in case of syria it was only one party system. It is quite natural all the factions of the public unite just to throw this regim but now they have setup some kind of council and according to them 80 percent of opposition is there
I don't think salfies have any weight in syria but yes the moderate brotherhood is there and very strong
