Re: Consider the source(s) of your beliefs about Syria and Assad

"No one in their right minds would use poison gas in Syria except as a false flag operation."

I agree. It's possible some military commander, or even Assad's government, went mad but I think it's more likely that the whole thing was arranged in order to manipulate public opinion or justify some action. People suspecting that it's a false flag operation only slightly weakens the effect on public opinion. Most people prefer to believe the official story because it takes less effort and is less depressing.
