Recently the United States has declared a red-line for chemical weapon use in military action. This red-line was crossed by the Syrian military and confirmed to have massacred thousands of children and women in the process. This unleashing of chemical warfare on its own people scaresthe United States and other developed nations when looking at the broader spectrum of sovereign nations tyrannically obliterating their own citizens. This red-line, like in past atrocities has threatened the United States indirectly by challenging their world-wide view of liberty and democracy. A criticism of this red-line is where and why it was placed where it was placed; chemical weapons being the limit after hundreds of thousands have already been killed. This puts a strain on the leadership that the United States of America embodies and stands for. They are a leader in military attitude towards justice and morality. Whether it be for good or not, is yet to be seen.
