I am genuinely baffled by the ethics of this

“Dear President Assad,

You may kill as many people as you like with bombs and bullets and mortars and landmines and RPGs. We have no issue with any of that, please go right ahead, that’s AOK.

But if you kill them with gas, you’re a MONSTER and an ANIMAL and we will attack you.

Yours sincerely,

The West”

It’s a bit bonkers isn’t it? If you’re a Syrian civilian, a bullet through the guts or a bomb on your house isn’t a whole lot different from being gassed. If you’re being killed, you’re being killed.
