Someone posted that something to the effect that middle eastern leaders don't think as logically as us. I call BS. Why Assad would launch such an attack where and when he did (vis-a-vis the UN team being right there) makes no sense.

World politics is a HUGE game of chess. Once you realize that, you understand that yes... there are pawns.
Well, I appreciate the fact that you at least recognize that something horrible and inhumane is happening (as some still believe the videos are manufactured). Obviously a debate could come from what side is causing it, but its still happening.

Its a huge game of chess, sure, but surely international aid and force is sometimes legitimately needed when such atrocities are being committed, regardless of who's committing them.
