Why military intervention in Syria would be wrong.

It is hard to demonstrate what happened well enough for the purposes of justice.

If the goal is to deter other dictators from using chemical weapons, it would be more effective to wait for a chance to punish Assad cleanly.

Hans Blix believes the military sponsors of both sides could make them agree to peace.
