Well, I think some intervention is necessary. I mean, the war has reached the point of no return, and all tries of diplomatic solutions failed greatly. The regime is known for its vicious history and it's got to go, but the opposition has some contents that showed also extremism and sometimes terrorism.

In my opinion, the help (preferably from the U.N) is needed not to only get rid of Assad's regime, but to take the country slowly into stability, or else the country will sink in a giant hole of a civil war with no descent outcome and thousands of people dead.

I'm from a Sunni Muslim background, but I am now a secular humanist. I am not religious, I live the life that most Syrians don't approve of.

I lol'd. Well, there's a general Arab hatred for the states, for supporting Israel, and what they did in Iraq and Afghanistan. My beliefs tell me to refuse any kind of help from the U.S, but I wish for anything that can end the misery of the Syrian people. It's been a really long and tough road.

I will have only thoughts and a personal opinion about the issue, and whatever these are, I cannot prove them. But, as a Syrian who knows what the current regime is capable of, and witnessed some really horrible things done by Assad forces, its not unlikely that the regime did really use CW, and it was used before on a smaller scale. The regime main goal is to get the rebels away from Damascus, and it did, and will do, anything to achieve that.

Of course, it is not impossible that the rebels did it, but the fact that all the victims were innocent civilians in Ghouta (liberated area) really makes the idea of the rebels using CW against their own people highly unlikely. Still, I can offer no proof, let's all wait for the U.N report.

Yes, and it's horrifying. I mean, you know it happens, and you know it's dangerous, but when it happens really next to you, when at the entrance of the building that you're currently in, it's a whole different story. Gunshots are really, really loud, especially when the hit the building walls and explode. RPGs are extremely loud and scary, not to mention when a tank comes over and starts shelling, you lose your hearing for a few minutes.
