Massacre in Syria - Is it time to question the veto power principle of the Security Council?

Asked by mattbrowne (31732points) February 4th, 2012

As in Libya, the Syrian government is killing its population. Hundreds of people keep dying.

China and Russia remain stubborn. Even an absurdly weak resolution gets vetoed.

This can’t be right, right?

Something needs to be done.

Change the veto power principle?

Boycott Russian and Chinese products?

Well, Assad is history. It’s just a matter of time and a matter of the number of senseless deaths.

Russia will lose a lot of business.
