"It barely matters who dropped the chemicals on the kids" has been called, folks.
David, you can't post things like this and expect to be taken seriously. It matters a great deal who is responsible for a horrible, deadly attack with a dangerous weapon. Empirical questions have answers that have political and moral consequences. The fact that firing cruise missiles might have "made it less likely for anybody to do it again" (which, spoiler alert, it didn't) is just invoking an irrelevant generality ("deterrence is good"). When someone gets murdered, do you sit around going, "it hardly matters who did it as long as we imprison
someone?"
