oliver in moscow thank you for that report the u.s. has praised the u.n. security council unity behind coffee announced mission as a positive step towards ending serious crisis but activists are worried over washington's habit of reading between the lines when it comes to resolutions as we've seen in the past what the u.s. government does is it takes these what seem to be innocuous nice sounding resolutions and then drives you know a mack truck through them and says oh well this justifies military intervention this is just a prize bombing attacks and no fly zones and so forth i would assume that the russians are going to be very cautious about the wording of their resolution but but i think we should keep in mind that no matter what they do with these these resolutions these interventions they always end up with a worse situation and there is much more death and destruction is so forth if there is intervention my position is just leave this to the syrians to resolve it's lead
