Colin Lester's letter very much exaggerated the success of the
US-Russian chemical weapons disarmament deal in Syria. It is evident now that Assad had never
intended to give up his weapons. He and
Russia cleverly exploited the Western public's fear of intervention in the
Syrian Civil War to give us the excuse we needed to go back to watching the
carnage on television.
I partly disagree
with Peter Dorr's letter with regards to Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson's
cancellation of his trip to Moscow. What
President Putin wants above all else is legitimacy. We have to show that he can't have it by
acting like a gangster. But what we can
do is tell Russia in no uncertain terms the only way out of Syria for them is a
negotiated solution between their puppet state and the rebels.
