Complete FUD trying to insinuate that Sarin/VX/etc are even remotely the same thing as depleted uranium (DU)or white-phosphorus (WP). I don't care if the huffington post wants you to believe that--it's utter hogwash. Mercury, Lead and Arsenic poison more people that live in localities where DU rounds were used...than the effects of inhaled dust from expended DU rounds.

As far as involvement, it's a lot sticker than it appears at first glance. There's a lot of innocent civilians affected by the conflict. Unfortunately, there's currently no logical endgame in which a NATO-allied regime would be easily placed in power. Consequently, this means that a long-term occupation would be required to stabilize a new western-friendly regime. I tend to prefer letting the two sides thin their numbers via attrition, which would present a much easier target for future coalition operations--in the unfortunate event they are needed.

RE: difficult
Source on that FUD about mercury, lead and arsenic?
I didn't think so.
