Obama Warns Assad
Editor,
US
President Barack Obama warned Syrian President Basher Assad
not to use chemical weapons on his own people because that
is "totally unacceptable". He said the world was watching
and there would be "consequences" (ABC news 4/12).
Should
we take it that the killing of civilians by other means like
bombing them from the air is relatively more
acceptable?
Does it make a difference to the Syrian
civilians how the Syrian State is slaughtering them?
