It's too early to make a lot of sense out of the gruesome chemical attack in Syria that killed a number of children. Assad denies Syrian forces are responsible. What I see (sorry to sound so cynical) does not have the staged look of other child casualties. Anyone can put up pictures of bloody children and get sympathy, but these kids were not bleeding. They probably suffocated. Footage of people being hosed down also indicates the presence of poison.
Apologies if someone else has started a thread, but here is a "news hook" that allows me to ask a question that has been bothering me. The conflict in Syria has been going on for 6 years? With Syrian forces, Russians and Hezbollah all "helping"? How is there anyone left alive in Syria, how is Assad a "strong man" if he can't quell an uprising in 6 freakin' years?
I don't know if this is "politics," and there may already be a thread elsewhere. If so *mods if so please move this*.
