[ No grey areas in life for you, huh? Must be nice. ]
Burning alive with all our mucous membranes severely irritated from tear gas is probably just as horrific as Chlorine gas killing you.
But hey, draw your own conclusions.
I did, and your analogy make no sense.
What makes the difference are the WMD’s, the history of use of WMD’s in warfare, and what the civilized nations of the planet decided in the aftermath of those atrocities was unacceptable ever again.
Crimes happen all over. People are brutally killed all over. Sometimes the criminals are caught and many times not. Gassing civilians with Chlorine is a different level of crime. As stated above, the civilized world, or whats left of it, decided collectively not to accept that. Just like a countries borders, if you don’t respect the rules, and allow others to violate those rules, its like the rules might not as well exist.
It really amazes me that the generation on this forum are afraid to fight the necessary battle now in order to prevent future atrocity for their children. But ignorance is bliss...
Great posts.
