Erroneous title. Leaving tear gas aside, I believe First the Russians were gassed (by Germans). Then the French. Then the Canadians were gassed. Then the Brits gassed themselves by mistake. Then everyone gassed everyone. Not particularly effectively, the overwhelming number of deaths being from direct and indirect fire. All of which, like "the Muslims" in Iraq and now Syria, was in a war zone. Where Joel frets about the handful of chemical deaths ignoring the the other hundred thousand or so. If it's an imperative to go to war for a thousand chemical deaths, why did we pass on the other 99,000, just as dead.

That said, I do think it's not only in our national interest, but that of Europe and the region that, if possible, Syrias chemical weapons stocks be destroyed. The will reach terrorists. If I'm to believe the suggestions on the thread that the opposition might be the source of the attacks, they have reached terrorists. Though I'd support that type of action, I suspect it would be much smaller scale over a period of time as intelligence is developed. Not a flashy attack we can forget in a couple weeks as Obama would prefer.

Absolute brilliant distinction.

Will Rosenberg please leave the Jew card out of this? I’m sick of this kind of bs.

Aside from that, they didn’t first gas the Jews. First they shot them. Then when the firing squad members started getting psychotic, they started gassing.

And nobody went to war with Germany because they were gassing Jews. They were already at war with Germany by the time the Wansee Conference ended in 1942, because he invaded Poland,
France, what was left of Czechoslovakia, etc., etc., etc. If he had gassed every Jew, Gypsy, homo, mental case and communist in Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland, but invaded nobody, the great powers would have left him at peace. There was no effort on the part of the US or the UK to degrade the logistics of the death camps. WW II wasn’t fought to stop genocide, anymore than the Civil War was fought to free the slaves.
