Yeah this grand outrage of the press, taken over by Tim feels dishonest. Assad has been artyllering his own people for who knows how many months and nobody cared to act. It seemed like the western powers feel they missd the mark an now using this gas excuse to pretend they haven't and are actually intervening at JUST THE RIGHT TIME.

Non-proliferation and opposition to the use of such weapons is an established international norm, not conventional weaponry.  Silly person.

Sure, it would've given them an excuse to go after the last 3 or 4 Jews left.

Actually they might already be dead. Somebody (read Al-Qaeda) went and torched the residential/synagogue complex that the remaining 22 damascus jews were living in.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

QuoteA car carrying United Nations inspectors was shot at "multiple times" by snipers Monday as it headed to the scene of a suspected chemical weapons attack that allegedly killed hundreds of Syrians, the UN said.

In a statement, the spokesman for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the vehicle had been forced to return to a government checkpoint after being "deliberately" targeted while driving in Damascus.

It would've been interesting to see the Warsaw Pact attack NATO, only to watch the Germans do the knee-jerk instinctive thing and invade France.

The regime's so far killed around 100 000 people.

that woudl be bizarre as the total count is about that number. Unless you're trying to say that the rebels haven't got rivers of blood on their hands.
The west needs to get it in its head that an Assad -sucky as it may be- is better than a bunch of islamotards in power. And islamotards in power is what we'll have if Assad falls.
Thinking otherwise is, imho, foolish. Criminally so even.

Those 100,000 wouldn't be dead if the regime hadn't escalated the situation from protest movement to armed rebellion.

:huh:

Assad's regime is not secular.  He's being propped up by the Iranians and Hezbollah.  Those two are about as bad as any other fundamentalists you can find.
