Comments on: Foreign Secretary http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2006/02/13/2380 Every day the Prime Minister's Spokesman meets a small coterie of political journalists known as 'the lobby' for a topical chat, or 'briefing'.

There can be no justification for the externsive butchery of the elderly, women and children for political ends, nor for the energetic disreard for the institution of the UN and its requests. There must be an immediate cease fire and access given to aid agencies to support the victims of this crisis\x85. On both sides. War never offered a long term solution to any cross border conflict\x85. Ever!!!

To state that Syria and Iraq are destabilising the region is laughable without criticising Israel's continued occupation of Arab land and their total disregard for human life in their violent reaction to anyone who opposes that occupation. All she will do is help to bring further pain and misery to the people of the region by supporting the true aggressor. Yours disrespectfully Greg Maden Isn’t it about time our foreign secretary stood up for human rights overseas.
