RUSSIA AND CHINA FAILING TO SUPPORT SANCTIONS AGAINST SYRIA DOES MORE TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM THAN IT DOES TO HELP. AGREEING TO DISAGREE IS ONE THING BUT DOING NOTHING TO PREVENT A LEADER FROM MURDERING HIS OWN PEOPLE JUST TO BE CONTRARY VERGES ON BEING GUILTY OF MURDER BY ASSOCIATION. NOT THAT THE U.S HAS DONE A GREAT DEAL TO STOP THE ATROCITIES ITSELF OTHER THAN PURSUING A DIPLOMATIC APPROACH, WHICH SEEMS A BIT SELF DEFEATING AND OF COURSE VARIOUS COVERT MEANS.
