Might doesn't change opinions
Yes, I'm sure the US is real concerned over a couple nerds thinking them attacking Syria is unacceptable.

See, might doesn't change opinions. But might means those opinions don't mean shit.

About that we can agree, but what is might, but an illusion that only exists in the minds of the feeble ? Who is mighty ? Obama ?

It's >hundreds of billions of dollars in military assets and technology. Unfortunately predator drones and aircraft and missiles and aircraft carriers and military bases all over the world and power projection aren't "illusions", as much as you'd like to think they are.

Not to mention that it's not just their technology that's superior, it's their personnel as well. War experience and best training - other Western countries can have as sensible training, but they don't have anywhere near the same amount of troops - and less warfighting experience - whereas countries like China, North Korea and Russia have some fucked up 18th century training that creates awful soldiers on average.

Well I guess it's true worse things have happened more recently. It's one of the first cases of massive and systematic executions based on denunciation, for the sake of the revolution, hence why it was called terror.

I'm not disagreeing with the fact that it was horrible, just not the most horrible as you put it.

Back on topic,

Might makes right? The furher would be proud.

I think most Europeans (and other nationalities) think that US military action, without a UN mandate, is unacceptable.

So you are saying you support the unchecked use of chemical weapons against civilian population centers? You are disgusting. Hopefully someone sarin gasses your neighborhood next, see if you still call any sort of help unacceptable then.

Interestingly the death of about 100.000 syrian people by guns and explosives didn't trigger even a thought of an armed response.
This gives the message of: As long it's not chemical, it's ok

Bunch of hypocrites.

Fucking idiot, no one in the US gave a shit when Iraq used chemical weapons against civilians and military targets against Iran, or against shia revolts, hell most were sold to them by euro/mercan MIC. But apparently invading Kuwait was the height of evil and we totally couldn't morally support Saddam after that heinous crime (lol).  The whole "boohoo this evil dictator broke the Geneva convention and used chemical weapons, time to intervene" is just propaganda to sway public opinion. Only a complete moron with no understanding of politics would think this is anything more than an attempt to rubber stamp public approval to a decision that had already been made for much more practical and pragmatic reasons. Reasons I don't agree with, incidentally. As destabilizing as Assad is for the region, it's nothing compared to the chaos that's going to occur once he is gone. There's no unified "rebel" command or political structure, they are largely divided along religious and ethnic lines. What the fuck happens after Assad is gone? Who's going to be interim power while there's an "election" (lol), who is going to win that election, what will be their political platform, what constitution do you think all these disparate groups are actually going to agree on?

For one, Agent Orange is a defoliant. And you do know the difference between a war and a civil war, right?

... And napalm is "chemical warfare", now?

People die and lives get ruined, what's the use of calling out differences between war and civil war?

Would you stop your needless, endless nitpicking for once?

There was a firebomb drop on a Syrian school, or at least that's what we are made to believe.
