I know that. And there is no value or purpose in destroying stocks of Chlorine since it is readily available and can be easily purchased in large amounts.it's not banned because chlorine is dual use .Look what Kerry said about is when weaponized:
Yes it is a distraction because no one was ever going to ban chlorine or destroy chlorine stocks.what do you mean "nobody cares?" -you showed coverage. If Assad used chlorine gas tomorrow would it be a "distraction"?
It's ridiculous to say one poison gas is a distraction,but another is a war crime
the whole poison gas thing went under the radar..I know that. And there is no value or purpose in destroying stocks of Chlorine since it is readily available and can be easily purchased in large amounts.

I said nobody cares because nobody cared to make it an issue (until now perhaps and that is just as a political point). Who was talking about it outside stories in the press? Did they bring it up in debates? Did you see politicians listing it as a priority point to be addressed? You thought the press had buried it, they hadn't, but they didn't need to. It was just an atrocity in Syria to go along with so many others atrocities.
It doesn't address the main issue. Killing civilians is bad. It is bad if you kill them with Sarin, it is bad if you kill them with barrel bombs, it is bad if you kill them with Chlorine. The reality is we don't care enough about them killing civilians to do anything about, and maybe we couldn't even if we tried, we might only make it worse. For. We conveniently use the excuse of XXXX type of weapon to make it an issue but it is just politics not compassion or genuine care.
It's not so much that it is under the radar, it's that there are so many other things on the radar that they all blend in together. Like you said "war is hell" and the details get lost.the whole poison gas thing went under the radar..
One thing that is not reported is "rebels"do not stand apart from civilians, so it's impossible to conduct a war without killing civilians..and how do we know if it's"collateral damage" or purposeful targeting?
It is genuine care -I mean pic of babies elicits an emotional response .
But it's the inability to separate out the emotion from the bigger pic that "war is hell"
that leads to a double standard
It can be front page anything... but... it is a distraction. Nobody cares that he used Chlorine gas on his civilians. And it's not a part of the banned chemicals in the non-proliferation agreement Syria signed. So it is a distraction from the current situation which is the strike against Syria. That wasn't done because of Chlorine.
We can also tell (by your Avatar) that you are not an immature child and a "sock" troll, you are a great mind because you know so much more than everyone else.I know that. And there is no value or purpose in destroying stocks of Chlorine since it is readily available and can be easily purchased in large amounts.
