The Washington Times quotes Pres. Obama
as saying that since Pres.Assad of Syria has used chemical weapons against the
rebels, he has crossed the "red line" and Pres. Obama will now send weapons to
the Syrian rebels.
This is a typical example of how ego derived from a mistaken position can drive one down an incorrect road.
There is no justification for supporting one side or the other in the Syrian conflict, and chemical weapons have nothing to do with it.
War is not a chess match. It is an all-out attempt on both sides to control the other by killing as many of the enemy as possible. All forms of killing are not only permissible but desirable or necessary. This includes use of bayonets, starvation, deprivation of water, bullets, bombs, fire, chemicals, atomic weapons, disease, propaganda, and anything else that I may have left out.
If one wants to monkey around in the Syrian conflict or any other, one should be prepared to use whatever weapon is necessary to resolve the conflict as quickly as possible. This usually involves big medicine. Recall that we resolved the Japanese-American war in three days with two atomic bombs.
