Letter to the i: Syrian Civil War Letter

The debate about whether the recent chemical weapons attack in Syria was instigated by the Syrian Government misses the point.  The fundamental one being that aside from the last chemical attack, the Syrian Government has managed to massacre thousands of it's own citizens with conventional arms alone.  The truth is that it does not matter what tools a tyrant uses to inflict death upon their own people, the fact that they are doing it is morally reprehensible.  The fact that certain politicians and media (including social media) are arguing for us to ignore this is also morally reprehensible and utterly disgraceful.
