It would be helpful if the author provided something other than just moral indignation.
What should the world do about Syria? Intervene militarily to remove Bashar al-Assad outright, with no thought to the consequences? Pave the way for his replacement by the likes of Douma's Jaish al-Islam?
And does the writer think the world should have sent forces into Baghdad to dispose of Saddam Hussein after his military began deploying chemical weapons in the war with Iran? Surely far, far more people were killed or injured by nonconventional arms in that conflict of the 1980s than since 2011 during the civil war in Syria.
Instead of bombing the Ba`thists, there ought to be an impartial investigation of what happened. Alas, such does not seem very feasible. One can imagine with little difficulty that, for their own reasons, the U.S. and its allies would work to have the brutal regime found culpable while Russia and its allies would seek to have the devious rebels declared responsible.
