Stopping the bloodshed in Syria

Having spent 32 years with an international organisation, primarily in war zones, I would strongly support international intervention in the Syrian conflict to prevent the continuing killing of civilians.

We have repeatedly been told by the United States of America that Al-Qaeda is a “terrorist organisation”.

In view of the fact that international journalists have confirmed many leaders of the anti-Assad forces are Al-Qaeda operatives (including an Irish resident), I am concerned that Western governments are strongly supporting the anti-government forces.
