“Those responsible for perpetrating this crime must be held to account,” the statement said.The UN mission said 92 bodies, 32 of them children aged less than 10, had been found in Houla after the artillery offensive on Friday.Major General Robert Mood, the mission chief, earlier condemned the “brutal tragedy” after monitors visited the area while residents buried the victims in mass graves.

Russia and China would rather do nothing. A united front could end this regimes brutality but it's not in China or Russias interest to go against Syrian's dictatorship.

I don't know what is the solution to this issue, on the one side assad is attacking his own people and on the other side in invasion remains an invasion regardless of what it is portrayed to be. The point has been proven over and over during the last decade.
