In Syria, we may be seeing a
repetition of the Balkan tragedy
"For years, the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina escalated, alongside a “diplomatic process” marked by a series of broken promises, culminating in the massacre at Srebrenica of thousands of civilians supposedly under United Nations protection. In the end, intervention was necessary anyway."
Remember Joschka Fischer? He's the bloke who asked Donald Rumsfeld, "where are the weapons?", when he was trying to drag us into a war in Iraq.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k_QbpFl7RM]"Most people in the West regard Syria’s civil war as a continuation of the sectarian violence in Iraq. But Syria is not Iraq. America’s president is not searching for excuses to start a war; Assad’s chemical weapons are not a fanciful pretext. The scale of the violence in Syria underscores the risk implied by inaction."
