re: #248 Justanotherhuman

And false equivalency:

Tony Benn, former Labour MP: “Chemical weapons are terrible weapons but when you think of all the thousands of people that would that have been killed by British and American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq you realise that it isn’t true that another war would solve the problem.”

Yeah, I missed where it was US and UK policy to intentionally target civilians. The Assad regime has done just that. Now, I think reasonable people can have a discussion on whether intervention needs to occur but what Benn stated isn’t reasonable.
