So. 1,000s upon 10s of 1,000s of people die by being ripped apart by metal and explosives. Fine.
100s die with chemicals. Everyone freaks the **** out.
It seems strange to me that THIS is the defining moment that everyone is demanding action. People have been fighting for the past year about this. How is one different from the other. I really don't get it.
Chemicals are a different monster. You can aim a bullet. Predict where a missle is going to land. You can fairly accurately hit your target using those bits of metal. Chemical weapons though? There not picky. You set one of those **** off and they'll kill everything. Men, women, children, animals. Doesn't matter. I'm not claiming children aren't killed by missles they are. But when you start messing with chemical weapons your death toll goes up.
Not to meantion a missle is usually a pretty quick way to end your life. Chemical weapons can drag on and on leaving you in a lot of pain and suffering. Personally if they have used them action should be taken. Just preferably not by the UK. Let the French do it. America being one of the few countries that actually has stockpiles of chemical weapons should probably sit it out as well as there going to look a little hypocritical.
