Comments on: UN envoy on Syria ‘shocked’ and ‘appalled’ by indiscriminate rocket attack on western Aleppo https://bsnews.info/un-envoy-syria-shocked-appalled-indiscriminate-rocket-attack-western-aleppo/ News You Won't Find on BBC or ITN Tue, 01 Nov 2016 11:40:07 +0000 hourly 1 By: reynadine https://bsnews.info/un-envoy-syria-shocked-appalled-indiscriminate-rocket-attack-western-aleppo/#comment-3238 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 11:40:07 +0000 http://bsnews.info/?p=15427#comment-3238 what the citizens of Aleppo need and deserve is not what they will get. Aleppo is a war zone, and a war zone is no place for fatuous statements about humanitarian values. I can survey the record of war going back four thousand years, and it is rare for humanitarian concerns to be raised in such a context. what is disturbing is to watch the current state of affairs where the west cynically exploits humanitarian concerns for political gain, and as an excuse to invade and lay waste the land and people of a potential enemy or competitor. Libya comes to mind as the most obvious example. what is also disturbing is that the people of the west allow themselves to be manipulated in this way.
