Yep. I mean Syria has been in a few wars in the last 100 years, but only in this current uprising has the government used poison gas, in violation of the Geneva Convention. One can argue it's because Bashar is worse than his father and previous Syrian rulers, but I can't be the only one who remembers Bashar being lauded as a potential reformer when he took the reigns?
