5. Not at all. But it does serve as nice deflection.

You and/or the article author might have a point when:

At least 60,000 people have been bombed, sniped, shelled or burned to death in Syria - with our bombs and diplomatic, financial support and complicity.

The killing has been going on for nearly two years, not less than two weeks.

When Syria has devised a plan of mass starvation and is actively using it as a weapon of war while systematically shooting those seeking aid.

When people have started to die from organ failure caused by starvation.

When there are nearly 150,000 injured in Syria, from bombs, tanks and guns we've provided to injure them.

When Syria starts to systematically destroy the hospitals and kill over 1,000 medical staff.

When Syria starts to blame "human shields" for killing entire families in their homes, as soon as "Daddy" (doctors, nurses, journalists, policemen, government workers) has stepped in the door.

When Syria has anmounced to the world it plans to ethnically cleanse the Druze after providing them with all the comforts of a concentration camp. Those that won't go, won't eat.

Lots more, but this should be enough, no?
