Bleipriester, et al,
Oh come now, really? "This
report details two alleged chemical weapons attacks in Syria on the opposition-controlled Damascus suburbs of Eastern and Western Ghouta, located 16 kilometers apart, on the morning of August 21, 2013."
No, that is not the question you should be asking. Even the media outlet "ISLAM21C" sees through this and asked the question:
When a society implodes on itself and when a nation forgets their priorities towards it ---
(COMMENT)
It is one of the most traumatic events one can observe, when a nation
(any nation) --- like a Star in a SuperNova --- begins the journey through the final, dramatic and catastrophic stages of destruction. It is when a nation breaks apart into multiple factions, and even if at some future point, the factions are brought back together, it will never equal the whole it once was. The apparent inability to resolve the critical domestic issues that initially sparked the "Syrian Arab Spring," brought in an "external intervention." But as we know, there is a fatal paradox to the riddle of Arab Interventions: "The more intense the outside intervention --- the greater the duration of the Civil War becomes.”
Syria has been irreparably damaged; and is unlikely to re-establish itself anywhere in the near future.
No faction in the Syrian Civil War cares about the evidence of any allegation. We've long since past that departure point. Now it is about survival, political-military stamina, and power which later becomes money; the variants shift depending on the faction under observation: DAESH, Anti-Government (Anti Assad) Forces, and the pro-government --- opposition forces that are also focused on the demise of one another, (the Last Man Standing Element) making them and (by proxy) their sponsors the war’s the future central dynamic.
The factions "stuck inside the box" that attempt to use the logic and techniques of the past are doomed to suffer the same fate as the revolutionary
Ernesto "Che" Guevara (El Che), THE quintessential anti-imperialist guerrilla leader and insurgent of the 20th Century.
Most Respectfully,
