Kejau,
"The evidence of who gased the civilians is self explanatory in my view as the area bombed was under rebel control and the manner and satellite evidence shows the government and chemical officers deployment, among other things. ...."
The said satellite observation were said to have happened three days before the actual attack took place, if this was the case,It would have been in the interest of humanity for the USA to tell the whole world what was about to happen ,this would have saved many lives and not wait until over 1000 were slaughtered to tell us Assad did this and he need to be punished , do you expect one to take these said evidences seriously ? not me anyway. The rebels were been defeated in these areas and the military have no reason to use these weapon,I am not saying that I am 100 percent certain that they did not do it,what I am saying is that, the rebels too are more than capable of committing such a horrible crime. They have been found with chemical weapon, the lie that they are not capable of and or have no access to such weapon must have come from people who are either not following the crisis in Syria or just want to throw dust in our eyes.This is the very reason why the US should share the evidence they have with the world and in the open.

Farang.Apologies for the typing errors but not for my inability to forget about Egypt and the coup. That's another argument altogether though and should not distract us from the use of illegal weapon in three rebel controlled strongholds in Damascus. Kejau

Kejau,
Please get over the Egyptian Issue. Regrettable over the loss but the constituency called 'Middle Egypt' do not want an Islamic Autocratic state. The Army cannot and will not stay more than their welcome. Peace.
Farang.

ILJD, Alieu et al.
Apologies for my late response. Many issues and concerns were raised, many of which contradictory, the main being what evidence available, right to intervene as well as why such late intervention and the consequences.
The evidence of who gased the civilians is self explanatory in my view as the area bombed was under rebel control and the manner and satellite evidence shows the government and chemical officers deployment, among other things.
The right and in fact the duty to intervene are international obligations, though governments like that of the UK may abdicated their international responsibility because of critics and their votes like you. It was in the same vein the US refused to join WW2 until Japan drag them in.
The contradiction that the US should have intervened earlier put forward by others is ridiculous as critics would have been more vehement in their criticism if the allies had taking that lead.
The absent of criticism from the allies on the Egyptian coup is regrettable and will not easily forgotten by peace loving people around the world but this action to keep the world peace.

Interesting perspective Khaleel, and Ousman, astute as ever, has isolated your most disturbing assertion in an otherwise reasonable, if unpersuasive take. You claim that "At some point of time men and women with conviction will have to tune off the noise raised by those critics and sideliners and act on what is necessary. These acts sometimes won’t be popular or approved at first but at the end of the day that’s what separate the men from the boys". Spoken like a true member of the military! I call this the logic of raw power, the logic of guns, and the opposite makes the US the great country it is today.
Syria does not fit in that logic, and please permit me to identify some of the seminal moments in US history when the "men" and the "boys" were distinguished, indeed "separated": the Dred Scot Decision by the US Supreme Court that said a freed black slave could not claim American citizenship, and how that perverse decision was later nullified by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the US Constitution. These amendments, especially the 14th, made it possible for the US-born offspring of Khaleel, and Demba Baldeh, to be recognized as American citizens even if the parents are illegal aliens; Lincoln's Emancipation proclamation freeing African slaves in America; the 1954 Brown v Board of Education of Topeka Kansas decision overturning the perverse Plessy v Ferguson decision of 1896 in which the US Supreme Court pandered to the Southern segregationists and ruled that separate facilities for blacks and whites were permitted by the US Constitution; the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that the Kennedy/Johnson Administrations, ushered into law. These seminal moments, unpopular as they were, came about as a result of the persistence of those you denigrate as "critics and sideliners". They made America great, and made it possible for Khaleel, and Demba, from lawless Gambia, to excel in the world's leading domestic democracy.
