So I take it you're OK with a leader using chemical weapons against his people?
Talking about believing fairy tales. Yes, the US/Israel/UK were foaming at the mouth about going into Syria, begging for an excuse, then while the chemical weapons inspectors were in town, Assad thought it'd be a great idea to attack people with some chemical weapons!
You realize it wasn't proven that it definitely was Assad? Most likely cause it wasn't. Funny news channels manipulate people. They will believe anything they see on TV, and won't believe anything, until it's been confirmed for them on TV.
Let's say Assad did use them. Then still, why not be consistent and still fund him? Israel poured white phosphorus over schools and hospitals in Gaza, and the US still gives them $7 million a day.
I don't have much of an opinion to offer. I haven't been following events that closely. However, it stuck out like a big sore thumb. The way Assad was judged guilty with no definitive proof. Cameron rallied parliament to go to war before the evidence had even been looked at!
Such a terrible war crime against children requires the full force of the allies. Yeah right! Great defenders of children!
However, no such action was even contemplated when Israel launched a relentless attack on the children of Palestine. Well, if i remember the news did say once that John Kerry was beginning to talk to Israel in a much firmer tone!
Just saying, for someone who was deliberately trying not to follow this, I could not fail to notice the hypocrisy.
If world leaders stoop so low that they pretend to care about the children in Syria to justify their military action, then the least they could do is pretend to care about the children in Palestine.
