We've seen that before. In order to attack a country you first claim they did something terrible to kids, then you bomb the hell out of them.

- pathy 10y agoYou are joking right? Syria used sarin gas on civilians. There are few things as terrifying and atrocious as chemical weapons. It is absolute insanity to use nerve gas, never mind the other war crimes committed by the Assad regime.
- xchip 10y agoHow do you know those news are true? Also please don't down vote me because my opinion is different.
- almavi 10y agoYou can't just ignore the photos, videos, testimonies, articles in international media with different ideologies only to base your thesis in "It's my opinion". Well, in fact you can, but your opinion doesn't deserve to be respected.
- xchip 10y ago@almave, Ron Paul explains better than me why this looks like a false flag attack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LULzvg1gA5U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LULzvg1gA5U
- dagenleg 10y agoYes, the testimonies. Remember those Kuwaiti incubator babies?
- dvfjsdhgfv 10y agoNobody questions the attack - the only unknown is who perpetrated it. Whoever planned it knew very well that using a chemical weapon, especially on civilians, is likely to meet a very strong reaction. We've seen it in the past. That raises questions why anyone would do it, especially Assad who is now winning the war. There are so many possibilities here. One of them is that Trump is being manipulated by the intelligence.
- xchip 10y agoWell, we've seen those photos and videos before.... The BBC is reporting bombings in Aleppo hospitals every 3 months... The question is, how many hospitals are there in Aleppo? 50? http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=aleppo+hospital http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=aleppo+hospital
- setra 10y agoThey did X horrid thing! Lets go invade Y country!. If you disagree you are a horrid person! A extreme claim against something is not proof of the claim itself. Regardless of it happening this kind of FOR THE CHILDREN social shaming is unacceptable. Lets not jump the gun on repeated military campaigns.
- amelius 10y agoThe US only intended to destroy infrastructure, and they largely succeeded. Why exactly is this act so out of proportion?
- tomjen3 10y agoGuns, burns, bombs, live burrial, drowning at sea. Dying from gas is no more horrible than those.
- EliRivers 10y agoI reckon it might be much more horrible than a swift gunshot to the back of the head.
- a_imho 10y agoFor nearly a decade, Ketchum, a psychiatrist, went about his work in the belief that chemicals are more humane instruments of warfare than bullets and shrapnel—or, at least, he told himself such things. To achieve his dream, he worked tirelessly at a secluded Army research facility, testing chemical weapons on hundreds of healthy soldiers, and thinking all along that he was doing good. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/12/17/operation-delirium http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/12/17/operation-delir...
- Grangar 10y agoDamn, that looks like a fantastic read. Thanks!
- saiya-jin 10y agonot enough to start another war to kill tens of thousands, is it
- k-mcgrady 10y agoI hope you're not being serious...
- throwaway87541 10y agoYeah, because the Syrians are so mind-dead that they'd give the NATO more reasons to stomp in and destroy their nation.
- yrro 10y agoYeah, remember when Saddam microwaved all those babies?
- fsloth 10y agoA nerve gas attack is quite insignificant if compared to the rest of the horrors Syrians have had to suffer.

- tomjen3 10y agoIt is a little different when you can see the kids than when all you have is the word of Colin "the traitor" Powell.
- kppisgpp 10y ago1) They probably did something terrible to kids. They have been doing since the beginning of the war on Syria, the difference is the news coverage this time. Yes, that was manipulated. But the gas attacks had been repeated for ages. For christ sake, read some news outside of american media. Have you seen what has been hapenning to kids in this war since the beginning??? "claim they did something terrible" 2) Bombing some random country is not the solution. Americans. You are the only country in the world that did not perceived your military is stupid and invasive and destructive. This is not an argument NO ONE ELSE DOES ANYMORE BUT YOUR STUPID ASS NATIONALISTIC TRUMP VOTING ASS. It's like: Oh you hit someone you're an awful person, I'LL KILL YOUR WHOLE FAMILY. 3) Hacker news is stupid.
