Syria says it's ready to disclose the location of chemical weapons, stop production, and show its facilities to Russia and the U.N..

Do you think that's "enough" or do we draw that weird line in the sand that whenever chemical weapons are used, we need to suddenly be the world's humanitarians?

Where's the new red line? If nobody does anything, rogue states like North Korea, Iran, and others see that chemical weapons are fine. It would lead to pushing that line with biological, nuclear, and so on. That doesn't even include conventional weapons.

The U.N. is a joke. All they are good at is providing humanitarian aide after these atrocities happen.
