aljazeera article

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/08/2013827531476414.html

I found this article particular interesting because it shows another view on the attacks and the United States Response to the Attacks. This article was written and posted on the Aljazeera website and its target audience are people that aren't American, and might not know to much about American policy. This article is saying That Kerry is blaming the attacks on Damascus and the people of Damascus. They used a direct quote to show what they believed. I dont think Kerry was attacking the city of Damascus itself, but so attacking the fact the Syrian regime wasn't cooperating with the UN investigation. He also was attacking the claims that the event may have been frabacated. It was also interesting to read the comments left on this article from individuals from multiple countries and see their take on the situation. Many believed that Syria should be left alone to handle its own problems without outside intervention. Do you think Kerry was blaming Damascus for the attacks?

  1. I don't think Kerry is blaming Damascus for the attacks but he insist that the Syrian government be held accountable for the attacks. I believe that he wants the Syrian government cooperate with the U.N. investigations into the attack. Why would they be doing that if they did not have anything to hide? I do agree that he did not believe that people would think that this even was manufactured, this is something that you can not really fabricate. I do understand why the U.S. is involved in what is going on in Syria but some times it is better to step aside and let the powers that be (the U.N.) try and do there job. I was glad to hear that the option to put troops on Syrian soil was not on the table at all!
