The UN cannot and will not determine who used weapons (if they were used). David__77 Aug 2013 #37

Actually, you are right. Thanks for reminding me. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2013 #41

Frederick Pleitgen of CNN just reported that Iran says Syria will allow the inspectors in. Comrade Grumpy Aug 2013 #39
