What’s up with that taboo?

Fireagra, for foreign policy impotence

Over the last several days some on the left and some on the right have expressed bemusement that over a hundred thousand killed in the Syrian conflict by other means provoked no intervention but a few hundred killed by gas, perhaps by the government, seem to some on both sides an unacceptable outrage calling immediate attack, by us, on the government.

A lot of this is probably just faking by people who have wanted us to intervene, all along.

And the attack itself may well have been a rebel provocation.
