#1 Much of Syria's stockpile came from Saddam, trucked across the border as the Americans came near.

#2 Because "World" believed that Syria needs the staff to protect itself from Zionist aggression?

#3 Because potassium cyanide is so useful in the pediatric population...

Seriously Doc... is there any therapeutic use of potassium cyanide?

#4 You stop this by removing the people at the top who direct it.

You know, that's what Israel did with Hamas (10 - 15 times). Didn't work. Maybe because it's not bad leaders who make some People bad?

#5 You stop this by removing the people at the top who direct it. That means, in a just world with responsible leadership, Pencilneck would be whacked.

Coming from the people who blame Fast and Furious on Low Level Rogue Employees? The same people who blame IRS targeting on Low Level Rogue Employees? NSA snooping a la LOVINT? Making the case against Assad is making the case against themselves.

#6 What did they do in the days before there was an 'international community'?

Well, nuttin.

No one wants to address fundamentals which in the world means national sovereignty. Under what conditions can one violate the national sovereignty of a country that poses no immediate threat to their neighbors but does horrible things by modern western standards (not to be confused with post-modern progressive every cultural is equal non-standard)? What real legitimate authority exists to act? And in absence of a player like the United States, who even has the means? If it makes no difference in the absence of the US, why should it be otherwise even if the sole means were available - in other words, why one place and not another?

We're not the world's policeman. Better get use to it, cause it's going to happen someday. More likely sooner than later.

#7 The "International Community" seems happy to deride the US for not doing something (or enough) and equally delighted to criticize when the US actually does something.

I guess that makes the US the plaything of the "International Community". Ya think Champ will ever figger it out?
