"What is missing is proof of what happened and who caused it to happen."
Why shouldn't it have happened
Assad has been using chemicals and massacring his own people for several years now - before that he was filling his prisons with torture victims and "disappearing" for several decades.
We actually watched his performance at Homs, where his snipers were competing with each other to see whether they could hit a woman and the child she was carrying with one bullet
Russia and China combined forces to prevent any U.N. action being taken to stop him and "decent, democratic" Britain voted in Parliament not to get involved, allowing Isis to fill the vacuum
Every death that has taken place since at the haands of Isis can be traced directly back to those event.
This latest atrocity was an air attack - I wasn't aware that Isis has air power capable of delivering chemical weapons, but we do live in a backwater on the west coast of Ireland, so we may have missed something - correct me if I have it wrong
Whatever the outcome of this shitty war, the people of Syria will be the losers
I hope Isis will be crushed, but monsters like Assad and "free Russia" will emerge as heroes of the piece and forget that it was them, and the inaction of the West that helped empower the fanatics in the first place
Stupid for Assad to use chemicals - been there, done that, don't you remember the reports, and Britain sold him material capable of assisting the making of the weapons he was using
Dictators tend to be brutish rather than bright
