The only thing I take comfort in right now is the fact that this particular camp is located on the outskirts of the city and Palestinians have been fairly neutral in this whole thing. I would think that if Bashar shows some semblance of sanity, he would just want to attack rebel strongholds and spare the civilians that have nothing to do with this. Also, the Palestinians have always been used as a pawn by the Baath party, so it would kind of go against their ideals to attack innocent Palestinians and destroy their hospital. I don't know anything about Sarin, so I'm not sure what kind of damage this could do to the outskirt of Homs if say it was released in Downtown.

I'm not trying to scare you, but Bashar has used helicopter gunships and fighter bombers on in city targets. There's recent evidence that his military used illegal cluster munitions on a refugee camp on the Turkish border and he's indiscriminate with the use of artillary.
With these third world despots the best way in their mind to stop a rebellion is to sow terror and make examples using civillians.
I'm hoping I'm worng on this but if he's willing to use chemical weapons on the rebels he isn't going to care if they're mixed with civilians.
