I don't want to discount the extent of Western propaganda that exists or give more ammunition to those clamoring for a more US-friendly regime. But I don't know what we get by focusing on this one attack so much. Like, even if this attack wasn't done by Assad, he's done plenty of other horrible shit. Like, I'd be all for a socialist uprising from below in Syria and I think we should push that opinion too, not just defend the regime.

My understanding was that the Syrian gov didn't do this one but probably did others
