Syria: the case for action

[TheCurmudgeon]

Here is a viable option to avoid military action:

Give up weapons, Russia urges Syria

Russia has asked Syria to put its chemical weapons stockpile under "international control" in a bid to avoid US military strikes, and then have them destroyed.

Don't know if this is for real or simply a stalling tactic.

Funny thing ... I remember reading somewhere that Assad aquired these chemical weapons to defend his regime against Israel's nukes. Now they may be his undoing.
