Well, let's consider what the lack of action says to Assad and to the victims of this outrage..

.. and it was an outrage of the worst kind wasn't it boys and girls...???

So what message does the lack of any real and meaningful response send ...???

Isn't the message to Assad to do it again...???

Now the "rebels" (as someone says above) are far, far from supporters of our liberal democratic ways ... indeed most a bunch of religious zealots ... but what arrangements the future holds for Syria is a matter for the people of Syria.

Our role should be confined to a Moral One... Whoever has used these damnable chemical weapons must be paid to pay a price as punishment and most, most importantly to deter future use against hundreds of civilians.

To do nothing is as damnable as the use of these disgusting bombs .

Thank God that there are a few Cypriots on this forum capable of making sound moral judgement.

Well done BillC. The rest of the posts here are nothing but garbage!

^^Vaffanculo folletto.

You go and tell that to the people of Tylliria and Famagusta ... civilians deliberately targeted by Turkey in the past ... as we all will know.

Both cases where indiscriminate bombing of civilians took place and where the Great Powers looked on...

... weren 't the Great Powers as guilty as Turkey back then and on dozens of other occasions in CY... again, as today, through their inaction.

An easier Moral Question to answer for some of you scabby lot...

... You see a bunch of thuggish adults beating the shit out of some children..

... Do you walk away...???

Yes of course! The Great Powers were every bit as guilty as Turkey is for looking on and even allowing the occupation to continue to this day. There is no doubt about it. I include Russia and Greece!

There is a moral issue at stake here, and as a human I can only hope the Great Powers get their act together and prevent this from happening again and to punish those responsible.

Well done once again BillC.

If Assad goes and takes his cronies with him i may pack up the family and do the same. Btw i'm about to be racist.... The people of this region with the exception of Israel, portions of Lebanon and a few neighbourhoods of Limassol and Nicosia that do not vote Akel, cannot be ruled by democracy. There is an obvious lack of education and democratic culture. Sheep that need a shepherd, dimwitted lemmings willing to follow any arsehole to their thankfully early deaths.

Give these people democracy and the results are clear....they're the same people that bring you the Muslim Brotherhood to government, the AKP and Akel. In Syria they'll probably end up bringing in Mullah Omar from Afghanistan to run their government.

And meanwhile, Mrs Assad goes ............ shopping!

Syria's first lady Asma Assad has carried on shopping as the killing in Syria spreads. She orders Western food for her three children because she doesn't want them to have a Syrian diet

A year ago, when the violence started to escalate, leaked emails showed her trying to buy a vase and furniture from Harrods, and spending tens of thousands of pounds on jewellery.

Nothing wrong with being a little racist!

How do you think Paphites feel? The European border passes through Paphos from the Coral Bay area and juts out in the vicinity of Paphos airport. When you cross the border from European Paphos into the Middle East and Asia, you notice the absence of civilization and Western Culture and begin to notice Eastern influences such as what you may find in Nicosia and Afghanistan for instance.

My apologies...I've forgotten to include the boulevards of Kato Paphos and the village of Amargetti also known as the little Paris of the Mediterranean.

In all seriousness, I would prefer Assad to stay in power only because I think the alternative (FSA and other rebels) will take Syria back to the stone age and are probably much worse than the Assad regime.

The issue is that civilians were targeted with Chemical agents and if Assad is responsible, then the international community at large must hold him accountable for this crime and somehow take away this lethal capability to ensure he is unable to do it again.

If the FSA are responsible, then the same thing should apply.

Sad fact is, because things are much more complicated in countries like Syria, regimes like Assad are necessary to keep the fanatics in check.

The west has a responsibility to do the right thing. Supporting the FSA is NOT doing the right thing. The west also has a responsibility to hold Turkey accountable for its crimes.

One more thing!

You guys need to get out a bit more!

Go to Asia and visit places like Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and China.

They are every bit as sophisticated as you Europeans, are culturally very rich, and have better, tastier and healthier food. I am not joking at all.

Also, they have philotimo. The most polite and down to earth people you will ever meet and very sincere. This is something I would dare to say is lacking in Paris, and the boulevards of Kato Paphos!

One more thing, the same applies to Middle eastern countries such as Qatar and UAE for instance.

What a load of smelly bollocks.

Who told you the Americunts and your stupid country are the peace makers, while everybody else is evil, goblin?

Goblins are too stupid to see what's going on and see who really controls most of the world.

So pleased that you have noticed such cultural niceties 'Paphitis' and I agree entirely with your general assessment of such places.

Since you hold such views, perhaps you are able to shed some light on the reasons for WHY those very nations are seemingly always held accountable for whatever savage misconduct takes place whenever the 'Western Powers' answer the 'Clarion Call' to save the people of such 'Genteel' communities OR, do you subscribe to the theory that (as is now the case of the 'Syrian' situation) it is perfectly legitimate to attack 'Assad' (or any other nation) BEFORE any conclusive evidence or sound reason is presented.

The Israelis are once again rushing to don their 'Gasmasks', the television channels are once again (as ever) broadcasting the horrors of 'The Holocaust' at every opportunity AND, I have just heard on the news that the 'Displacement' of the 'Syrian Population' is reckoned to be the most devastating of 'ALL TIME' ?.

I think perhaps the Yanks have forgotten about the decimation of the 'Red Indian Race' and even more recently, the Israelis the 'Displacement ' of the 'Palestinians' whose very existence has been 'Wiped off the Map' (if that rings any bells).

It may well be that 'Assad' will be considered responsible for the horrific attack on those who suffered and died (are still dying) BUT, with the 'Gung Ho' attitude and camaraderie of those who will determine the case, who knows WHAT to believe?.

In TRUTH, if 'Assad is responsible, obviously the most severe punishment should be his lot, I would suggest a covert operation of a few well trained 'Commandos' could take him out in five minutes (as they could have done on other occasions in other areas) BUT, even though a few good men took the 'Iranian Embassy' not so long ago, such action would hardly allow us all the spectacle deserving of our 'Ringside Seats' don't you agree?.
