Columnists condemn the “tripartite aggression” on Syria

The nation’s columnists are blockading about what some of them are describing as the “tripartite aggression” against Syria. Al Shorouk’s Emad El Din Hussein says that targeting Bashar Al Assad won’t help Syria any more than targeting Gaddafi or Saddam helped Libya or Iraq. Al Masry Al Youm’s Samir Farag whines that the US, UK and France didn’t wait for a fact finding mission before the strikes, while El Watan’s Mahmoud Khalil is just generally cranky. Hazem Mounir wonders how Arab leaders will handle the strikes at today’s Dammam summit.
