Sir, – I was stunned to read of the blatantly aggressive and insulting language of rebuke in the Arab press, as well as by high-ranking US and European officials, regarding the Russian and Chinese vetoes of the proposed UN Security Council resolution on Syria (Breaking News, February 6th).
I am Russian and I support the veto because I believe the West misunderstands the situation in the Middle East – the recent events in Egypt are sufficient proof of that to me. Yet I do not fully trust Russian politics either. There are interests on both sides.
However, this tirade of abuse is very sad to read.
Are we really that full of hatred and disgust towards each other? – Yours, etc,
