Yes, they will do more. I agree with all of that, but what are we doing about it? How can we go about doing something? How can a small country like Ireland play its part? I do not agree with certain elements but I like to listen to people, make up my own mind and form an opinion. Does Mr. Yassin-Kassab have a proposal we could consider and perhaps progress discussions or whatever. Somebody has to start somewhere. We can give out about Assad for as long as we want but, effectively, he is still in power. This is a problem that must also be solved by the Syrian people.
