UN Chief: 'Give Us Some Time' on Syria

U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has urged all sides in Syria to "give peace a chance," noting the presence of the weapons inspectors currently in the country. He also questioned the wisdom of supplying arms to either side in the conflict, and asked, "what have those arms achieved but more bloodshed?" From his remarks: "It is essential to establish the facts. A United Nations investigation team is now on the ground to do just that. Just days after the attacks, they have collected valuable samples and interviewed victims and witnesses. The team needs time to do its job. Here in the Peace Palace, let us say: Give peace a chance. Give diplomacy a chance. Stop fighting and start talking."
