A praiseworthy decision
British Defense Secretary Philip Hammond confirmed that Britain would not be involved in any action against Syria, following a 285-272 vote against a motion by British PM David Cameron to authorise a military response.
We have learnt from media reports that US officials conceded that they lacked conclusive evidence that Assad personally ordered last week's poison gas attack. Some allies have warned that military action without UN Security Council authorisation will worsen the situation.
Russia is sending two warships to the eastern Mediterranean. China said there should be no rush to force council action against Syria until the probe by UN inspectors is complete.
We simply understand that civil casualties can not be avoided in any military actions. We still believe in political solution to save the ordinary citizens of Syria. We hope no super power will attack Syria bypassing the United Nations.
