I'd like to think this would be a solution rather than a punitive attack.
​
The only attacks that make sense for the U.S. are punitive; occupations are so pricey.
​
But how does taking some chemical weapons from Syria "solve" the problem of Assad's war crimes?

In order for Assad to be punished for war crimes he would have to be charged, captured and sent to trial and be found guilty.

I am all for it, but wont hold my breath.

Or he could just blow up. Spontaneously, like. Maybe a drone could spot him in a crowd of Al Qaeda...
​
What's the point of being the International Champion Whack-A-Mole Nation if we can't whack an evil, gas-breathing monster mole when we spot one? Personally, I never objected in principle to the CIA's use of extralegal means: the great game isn't played by club rules. I objected to the fact that our whacking always seemed to support or install some evil monster mole or another.

Sometimes our justice menu options are rough or none.

Has anyone mentioned Hitler in this thread yet?
