@Wake up! I bet you don't even know what, when and who created the International red cross... Just because you don't like the west doesn't mean that aid organizations are owned by the west in some strange Hollywood movie... The Red Cross was created in Switzerland in 1863 by Henry Dunant. It was not created by any country but one man who witnessed horre ndous things at the battle of Solferino during the Second Italian war of Independence and decided to create an Organisation to help humans across the planet on a humanitarian basis. It is a non political organisation that helps people no matter what religion, race, sex, sexuality etc. Your thoughts have been corrupted by the conspiracies you probably read everyday.

I am inspired by the Red Cross and think they are brave people who risk their lives to save people from the Terrorist in Syria. Jesus will have special place for those who die saving the victims of terrorists.

If Assad Snr was in power, he would have out smarted the west as he did for years, Assad Jnr will learn the hard way, but he will learn, and i hope defeat the real murderers of the west, what he needs is for all the expats on his side to go back and defend the country.

I would love to know what the west would do if someone did the same to them, oh i know, worse than what Assad is doing.

Weapons in, injured out. That's what the Red Cross is all about.

Whats the difference between arming the rebels or arming the regime? None at all, both are mad and shipments to either side will cause more bloodshed. A complete arms embargo should be imposed on Syria and no weapons of any sort should be allowed to enter. Weapons only lead to more death and misery for the ordinary Syrians. And in this case the heavier fire power more death will occur,

@Munby,   Act ually I do care.  But apparently many of you don't respect opinions if they differ than yours.  Saying that the majority of people in Syria support Assad is like saying that the majority of North Koreans supported Kim Jong Il...  Most people will support someone if they are forced to.
