#1 Well, they ARE Arabs and Islam is the Religion of Peace.

You sort of expect this sort of thing when it comes down to Values...from Moslems.

You got any Moslem neighbors in your town? Invite them over and be friendly. It is all probably a mis-understanding.

#2 How many of those civilians were actually ISIS or Al Nusra, or one of the other dozens (hundreds?) of 'brigades' or 'armies' fighting Assad which range from Moslem Brotherhood to ISIS in daily cruelty, but share the goal of instituting Sharia Law over the entire population? Or their purchased [formerly non-Sunni] wives and slaves?

#5 By whom. Seems Chlorine Bombs are weapons of irregulars, such as what was used vs. USA in Iraq.

#6 I once had a lab accident, involving a giant spurt of chlorine gas straight up the schnoz. Instant headache that felt like someone had split the hemispheres of my brain with an ax. I informed the professor, who shrugged it off. With such a thoroughly sterilized respiratory tract, he joked that at least I'd be safe from colds and flu for a good six months. Smartass. I slept it off and was fine the next day.

Just sayin, I can't imagine how much it must take, outdoors, to inflict permanent damage. Chlorine is kids' stuff, compared to most other CW agents.

#7 Chlorine gas is 2.5 times heavier than air.

Not good if you are in a trench or basement.
