re: #95 Targetpractice

I’m not exactly thrilled about taking action either, but the alternative is to set a precedent that chemical weapons are not that big of a deal when used against civilians. That we don’t care whether they use them, just so long as they’re not used against us.

That might be the heart of it. Chemical weapons are an emotional stalking horse for other drivers. Is it worse to poison a child or to deliver a hundred pounds of HE to a wedding via semi-smart ordnance? The immorality is in the slaughter, not in the knife.
