I'll borrow from a Facebook poster tonight. Rod Johnson noted that among all the killing of civilians in Syria, some have been beheaded. So, how is it Syria stepped over the red line just with chemical weapons? Is beheading folks more moral than using chemical weapons?
I word searched to a link on Wikipedia, and learned between 82,370 and 106,425 civilians have been killed in Syria. (Don't know how that breaks down -- how many by the rebels and how many by the government forces.) So, by going to war only now, are we saying the 82,370 -- 106,425 killings were one thing, even though some were beheadings, but now that you've started using chemicals, that's a different ballgame?
