RE: Notes on the Conflict in Syria in Light of Current Events
I never defended the missile attack, in fact I think it was a rather lame response. I think there needs to be a public trial and if Assad is found guilty he must be hung along with any of his generals who gave the order. If it wasn't Assad who was it Isis doesn't have those weapons if they did we'd all be in deep shit.
I'm not sure it was Sarin. If it was a different gas, such as chlorine or Phosgene, availability is less of an issue. There have also been reports that this was fallout from an earlier strike against a weapons depot causing the accidental release of gasses from stored chemicals - perhaps weaponized, perhaps not.
If there needs to be a trial, isn't that the alleged purpose of the UN? It's not 'MURKA's job to be judge, jury, and executioner regardless of precedent.
