In reply to the discussion: The disconnect by Americans re violence in Syria is sickening. [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)Some accept the idea there will be wars but that there are some things that are beyond the pale.
If he lined them up and shot them, they would be just as dead, true, but it would take a longer time and give more chances for fighting back. It would take a lot more effort on the military's part. No one says that is OK, but that using gas just makes it happen faster and makes it easier for the attacker and therefore gas should not be used.
I can't get behind the shrugging over that as if it makes no difference whatsoever.
And even with that, most Americans are against it. Some polls have been quoted in the last couple days showing that. Thus "Americans" do not deserve to be called out as if they are wanting to strike Syria for it.
