Not everybody wants this used as an excuse to drag us in deeper in the ME. I'm all for punishing Assad if this is his doing, but with our history of exploiting (or manufacturing) tragedy for opportunistic ends, I'm opposed to shock and awe at the drop of a hat. Why's that so hard for some to understand?
