John Kerry, the USA Secretary of State condemns the "moral obscenity of the Syrian Government's use of Chemical Weapons against its own people" in the on- going civil war.
Direct evidence of the results of the atrocities were visible in News Reports on European television and in newspapers yesterday (26 August 2013).
It seems evident that President Obama's "large red line" has in fact been crossed ! Countries everywhere want action but the question is "What can be done ?"
Is the present situation not a perfect opportunity for the USA and Britain to engage talks with Russia and China, who apposed their "Veto" in the UNO Security Council, with a view to normalising relations and to avoid, even to "forget", the present stand-off ?
All four Countries are signatories of the "UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS", and Syria also in fact ! In the present circumstances does this count for nothing ?
Should at least these four nations not jointly sign a Declaration that the use of Chemical Weapons by Bachar al Assad in the civil war in Syria constitutes a violation of fundamental Universal Humanitarian Rights of Man ?
Should Bachar al Assad not be captured and judged ?
Other former dictators have already been judged and forgotten !
He will never again be able to "reign" in Syria in a calm climate and with "democracy" ! Russia and China must already realise this !
The only alternative seems to be a "war" in the Middle East with even more "dead". Is this really worth while ?
