Syria's war has reached "new levels of brutality", the UN says, with evidence of fresh suspected massacres, sieges and violations of children's rights.
Children have been taken hostage, forced to watch torture and even participate in beheadings, it says; others have been killed while fighting.
It says it suspects there are "reasonable grounds" to believe chemical weapons have been deployed.
It urges foreign powers not to increase the availability of arms in Syria.
The issue of arms has been high on the international agenda of late, with the EU lifting an embargo on the sale of arms to Syria while Russia has insisted it is going ahead with the sale of an advanced S-300 surface-to-air missile defence system to Syria.

Russia is an ally of President Bashar al-Assad
can we raise money
what if anything can we as people do to alter the events that take place in another country???
+ This crisis has been going on in Syria for two years. Why are you and the UN concerned about the events now?
Now that Bashar is pushing the terrorists out ?
I believe that west is watching that it is losing the war and that is why it is starting to scream the old lies again.

Common , the real agenda is here , beheading and killing is just fake.
I join your frustration. We can't even talk about it politely here, where there's nothing at stake. All these various guerilla groups, governments, and terrorist organizations think the fate of the world depends on their crushing the enemy.
I personally feel its way too late for picking sides...The one thing that I think might help at this point is to go In and pack up all the women and children leaving behind all those who want to continue fighting and then just nuke it all to hell....hows that for a solution???

Well, you can see the war-mongers - both dems and repubs - in the US are pushing for WW3 - with Russia and China, no less, in this complete debacle - and they're selling arms to both sides.
When can we get rid of the politicians and the war/industrial complex? All-together?
