April 25 (Bloomberg) -- Well, Bashar, now you’ve done it.
We’ve seen that killing tens of thousands of your fellow Syrians
with conventional weapons is more or less acceptable to the
civilized world, as evidenced by the fact that the civilized
world hasn’t stopped you from killing tens of thousands of your
fellow Syrians with conventional weapons.
But now, if U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel is to be
believed -- and Hagel isn’t a man looking for excuses to get
entangled in the Middle East -- you have apparently used
chemical weapons (the nerve agent sarin, to be specific) on
civilians.
