Chemical weapons

The traffic in chemicals that are used in weapon-making is disgraceful and it appalls me that we are involved in this. The intricate web of commerce that feeds wars is global and uinfathomable and perfectly terrifying.

I feel total despair this week as I watch all this unfolding. I wonder what sort of world my very dear GC are going to be living in.

Here is an article in the Independent arguing the other 'side' of the issue.

More on British exports of chemicals.

Another link to info which suggests it is the rebel side that used the chemical weapon. I hope this is being investigated.

Owen Jones asks Who was selling chemicals that can be made into nerve gas 10 months after the war in Syria started?

Think you got the wrong thread there, Anno

I never thought I would say this, but I think I am just too pure and innocent to join in this thread - besides I'm not very good at finding rhymes.

I think Mint press is down could try the Google cached version

webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:byiHzkS4Bq0J:www.mintpressnews.com/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk

It doesn't seem to work for me. While it is trying to find it, the address bar says "about:blank" and blank is right.

Is that working? I've got the article on my screen, so it did work?

Anyway, the point is that there is talk of Saudis being responsible for the chemical attack. Does anyone really know who carried it out?

Sorry, link doesn't work. Try this: www.mintpressnews.com/witnesses-of-gas-attack-say-saudis-supplied-rebels-with-chemical-weapons/168135/

Has this report been absolutely verified? – positively or negatively?

Utterly shocked.

But how is killing more Syrians going to help? What if you kill the wrong ones?

I told you it had tripped me up. I've picked myself and now see it was OBAMA saying that.

The worst !!!!??
