Chemical Attacks vs Bombing Raids- WAR

Bombing raids are taking place daily by the United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Syria and others. At the moment it is Syria, Libya and Yemen on the receiving end of these bombs. Seriously, its more than one can keep up with. It would surprise me none to find numerous locations I have overlooked. I don't want to look. It is horrific.

Today reports of chemical attacks, again in Syria. The reporting decries the manner as more horrific, more inhumane. Is it more so? Lets examine that. Below is a bombing in Syria.

Would you rather be gassed or crushed by the building. Both weapons take out innocent people in the immediate area with no regard to age, sex or religion. Both consume children and grandmothers alike. The intended target, assuming there is one, deemed worthy of execution must have been one serious bad ass dude to make the number of civilian casualties worth this horrific act. If the bombing raids are daily, how many really serious bad ass dudes do they have? They can't all be Osama binLaden. Why is it acceptable to have these mass deaths whether by bomb or chemical rather than sending in ground troops to obtain their targets. Senseless death.

For me, I think I would prefer the gas.
