If Assad is crazy enough to gas his own people the DAY the UN inspectors arrived....

Why didn't he when Israel did the sorties this spring?

Clearly, he's THAT suicidal.

We don't know. And why the thousands of people who died from conventional weapons are ignored, basically, but suddenly we have to act urgently makes it all the more troublesome

Too late.
