re: #46 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

I still do not get why people are more upset by these people killed by chemical attack than they are the people killed by indiscriminate shelling.

About a hundred thousand have died in this civil war already.

When I was in the Marines, I crosstrained in NBC response. Spent a month learning all about the weapons and the responses to their use, which meant we saw lots of video and photos of victims. Chemical weapons are truly horrific, terrifying weapons.
