"Neutral means they condone the slaughter of civilians, including the murder of infants."
Absolutely disagree.
Would supporting either side make one a brave nation?
This type of conflicts are obviously supported/involves powerful international politics in the background. Hence, countries taking a neutral stance, would minimise attracting unwanted political fury towards them later on.
It's easy to be a Rambo in an anonymous forum - but governments need to think of the detrimental repercussions that may arise due to their decisions, where-by the innocent citizens of their own will suffer.
Only terrorists and psychopaths would condone the slaughter of civilians, including the murder of infants, for any reason.
