    Default Worrying about the wrong user?

    From FP one of the better comments on the situation; the title being 'Why Assad Won’t Use His Chemical Weapons; And why you should still be worried':http://www.foreignpolicy.com/article...pons?page=full

    Charles Blair ends with:
    Were chemical agents to fall into the hands of armed factions battling for control of the nation, the implications would be stark and ominous. So, the United States is right to worry about Syria's chemical weapons -- it may just be worried about them for the wrong reason.
    He does say earlier:
    The good news is that few terrorist groups would actually be able to use any [chemical] materials they acquired.
