So… if it turns out Israel used the sarin gas, does that mean the US attacks Israel?

 

 

 

And… if Yeman and Pakistan draw their own ‘Red Lines’ around targeted assassinations carried out by drones operated by slack-jawed military hillbillies three miles under a mountain in Utah, does that mean Obama’s crossed it?

 

 

 

But if the application of the Responsibility to Protect Doctrine to Syria is based upon outright lies, propaganda and half-truths -- as with all the baseless accusations over the last several weeks regarding the Syrian government using nerve gas and calls for U.S. military intervention,  then aren’t Israeli strikes on Syria obvious violations of international law?

 

 

 

None of this of course excuses any violation of international human rights law that might have been committed by the Assad government.

 

And nowhere in the Doctrine is there a photo of a shirtless Vladimir Putin waving a chair at a lion. (viz: Ancient Assyria, lions, mythology, hubris)
