I didn't even consider that.
We inject prisoners with lethal chemicals to execute them. And also used the "gas chamber" as a means of execution.
Not to mention (as I already have a dozen times) what we did in Vietnam with Agent Orange being sprayed all over Indonesia. We really committed an atrocity there.
But to answer the question...hell no chemical weapons shouldn't be used.
But also...it's against international law to attack another country unprovoked.
The United States has no business involved in this.
And when we bomb them, we are going to kill a lot of people. How the hell do we justify killing MORE people as a way to stop the Syrian govt. from killing people?
The whole thing is ludicrous.
Obama fucked up and drew a "red line". And now he is claiming that he never drew a red line...and is saying the international community drew the red line...even though nobody but France (another producer of chemical weapons) is actually agreeing with him.
This is a huge, huge mistake.
