After the chemical weapons are removed from the theatre of operations Syria should be subject to a total weapons embargo. They can throw rocks at each other when they run out of missiles and bullets. |
I thought we are discussing ethics of chemical weapons, that's what your initial post made it sound like...
but either way, I'll play along...
Why are we in a different position now than 6 months ago? It's certainly not any intelligence breakthrough that there are chemical weapons in Syria or is it? If the issue of chemical weapons getting into "wrong hands" wasn't an issue 6 months ago, why is it now?
