(12 posts)War Sucks... Hitting civilians (i.e. women and children) with poison gas sucks... Not sure how far the Russians are willing to go in the security council with sanctions are actions - which sucks...
My question - if there is real hard proof that thousands of woman and child are getting hit with poison gas (and that's a big if)... What options are available to the international community (remembering that Russia will probably be more than a little slow to drop the hammer on the Syrians). I don't see any really good military or economic sanctions other than doing what we are already doing (i.e. - arming the rebels and that isn't a great option because some of those guys aren't real nice either)....
So the Syrians in an act of incredible stupidity cross the big red line and gas there own in droves... What are the none blowing people up options available - have to think we have a couple cards to play short of b-52's and m-1 tanks...
