White House press secretary Sean Spicer was speaking today about how Syrian dictator Bashar Assad was a horrible person because he used poison gas on his own people. Not that long ago, we were hearing how Libya's Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was a horrible person because he used poison gas on his own people. So here's what I want to know…
What is it about gassing your own people that makes you so awful? Wouldn't you be pretty dreadful if you used poison gas on anyone? Would we think more highly of Assad or Gaddafi if they'd gassed people in neighboring countries? Someone help me out here.
