Syria controversy
This refers to the report, "Britain sent poison gas agents to Syria" (Sept.9). This report, which too was published in a reputed UK daily, enjoins the UK government to take action against these companies who are alleged to have supplied poison gas to Syria. The British government should not blindly support the Obama administration in carrying out 'invasion' against a sovereign nation. Only a UN mandate authorises such an action. The US should share the intelligence on poison gas. There are also reports that rebels also used poison gas apart from Syrian government forces. The US should not act like a global cop. Syria should not become another Iraq. Obama won the presidential elections on the premise of criticising the US military intervention in Iraq on the assumption of Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. Later on, the US government itself admitted that Iraq did not have such weapons. Who will punish US for war crimes? That is a million dollar question.
