England strammer skruen. De ansvarlige for weekendens folkedrab i Syrien kan i følge Nick Clegg muligvis blive udelukket fra Olympiaden i London! Udenrigsminister William Hague synes, at massemord er dybt forstyrrende. “Deeply disturbing”. Foruroligende. Kan det siges tydeligere? Kom så ikke og påstå, at Vesten er for blødsøden. Fordi andre EU lande har udvist syriske diplomater, har Englænderne gjort det samme. Det fremgår af flere kilder bla. The Telegraph. Den iranske revolutionsgardes Basij-bevægelse er aktiv flere steder i Syrien for at støtte Assad. USA anklager Iran for at have bistået syriske militser under det uhyggelige blodbad, skriver The Guardian. Tirsdag blev der fundet yderligere 13 dræbte i det østlige Syrien, skriver The New York Times. Murray om massakren, der kostede 108 mennesker livet:
What Bashar Assad Knows
Syria illustrates the gap between what Western politicians pretend to be able to do and what they actually can do.
By Douglas Murray – May 29, 2012,
British Foreign Secretary William Hague described the killing of at least 108 people last Friday in the Syrian town of Houla as “deeply disturbing.” The U.K. talked of summoning the Syrian chargés d’affaires to the Foreign Office. Meanwhile Deputy Prime Minister and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg used an interview over the weekend to escalate the rhetoric further: As Bashar Assad’s forces pushed on for another day, Mr. Clegg said that Britain may ban anybody involved in massacring Syrian civilians from attending the London Olympics this summer.
It is now more than a year since Assad—already an enemy and terror-sponsor—began using his security forces in a full-scale assault against the people of the country he treats as family property. And at the end of that year what do we do? Make it clear to any Syrian Baath Party general too busy at work lately to have kept up with the national lacrosse team that if he still thinks he’s going to cheer them on while sipping mint tea in London this summer, then he’s got another think coming. Damascus is quaking, no doubt.
