Good piece in the Telegraph about what is happening in Madaya.

It would certainly seem the right thing to do, whatever the consequences.

And now after all that hoo-ha they have only dropped a few bombs because they can't find anymore targets. What a joke!!!

3 hospitals bombed today, presumably by Assad or Russia.   I suppose Putin thinks he is really showing the West a thing or two, well maybe.   He is certainly bombing the shit out of rebel groups, thus helping the Syrian army move forwards. 

I would think that Cameron's 'moderate groups' have been flattened now.   

But for the West to intervene seriously seems impossible politically.   Western influence in the Middle East is going down the tubes.

Yes high time to West left the Middle East alone!

I've heard that the rebels hate Assad more than they hate ISIS and will join them to try to kick Assad out, and that the Saudis and possibly the Turks will help out. Sounds like fun for all...
