I'm sorry, Skarpi, but there are many, many people who don't mind if children are killed...and always have been.

IF someone other than Assad did that, I'd suspect the Mossad or Iran, trying to draw the West into military action. Iran would be more likely -- Israel does NOT need more trouble on its borders.

But...suppose Iran was working with their friend North Korea. With the attention and wrath of the world focused on the US, NK invades South Korea....
