exactly who we re supplying them to. my next question would be then, you know, clearly this is a humanitarian crisis. hundreds of thousands of people dead, we saw the latest pictures of the women and children lined up in these body bags, one beside another. do we have any other options? what else can we do? look, option of not doing anything is going to lead to another 50,000, another 100,000. because if you don t contain it, there is no reason for the regime not to continue with that massacre. and there s no reason for al qaeda to continue the penetration of the opposition. so it seems to me that the most possible thing we could do with less cost would be to establish a small no-fly zone over a small area of security for the people who are fleeing. this would be the basis for another operation, if we have a much wider consensus internationally speaking. okay. walid phares, thank you so much
