A team of UN chemical weapons inspectors have confirmed that the nerve agent Sarin was used in an attack on the Ghouta agricultural belt around Damascus on the morning of 21 August. 2013.UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon told the UN Security Council that he believed the attack constituted a war crime. The UN report, he said, detailed the "most significant confirmed use of chemical weapons against civilians since Saddam Hussein used them" in Halabja in 1988.
That was two years ago.
Until today nobody was held responsible, even investigations were not launched.
Obama and Putin agreed that the only punishment was to confiscate the weapon of the killer and let him free to kill more and more children.
Assad gave up his chemical weapons and improved the techniques of indiscriminate barrel bombing.
Almost exactly two years after the devastating chemical weapons attacks, Assad targeted the same region and the world did not take action.
"The government's bombing of (Douma) yesterday is devastating," The UN's Syria envoy, Staffan de Mistura said. "Hitting crowded civilian markets killing almost one hundred of its own citizens by a government is unacceptable in any circumstances."
Sunday's series of raids on the town of Douma was one of the bloodiest regime attacks in Syria's four-year war.
A Syrian father who lost his son in the horror of the two years after declared
"I do not understand why they got rid of the chemical weapons. They were more humane that the actual barrel bombs the regime is using. At least chemical weapons did not blow the children to pieces. Those whose children were killed by Sarin two years ago were able to hold their children and kiss them before burying them. I was not able to. My son was torn to pieces by the barrel bombing."
