Even if they used chemical weapons by who's authority would the United States have to question such actions? They never signed that treaty for one thing. Why are chemical weapons considered more abhorrent than, let's say people being skilled alive and having arms and legs slowly sawed off in Darfur? Because if you don't have oil under your land or you can't sell a big rebuilding contract or a big Haliburton contract to make a few assholes in the pentagon tens of millions more dollars the United States really doesn't give a shit what kind of "horrible" things are happening in your country (I feel like I've said this exact same thing before, don't give a fuck if I have) .....At least we agree Isreal needs to be allowed to live or die with out it being propped up by the empire...After all it would be the libertarian thing to do to let them pull themselves up by their own boot straps and be self sufficient.
