I just don't understand why gassing is worse than bombing the shite out of them. Hasn't that been going on forever?

No one cared until videos of people gasping for air to save their life came out.

Typically not a line that is crossed.

One of his flunkies pointed out to Hitler that the two million Allied soldiers massing to invade Europe in 1944 made a perfect gas target. Hitler, who had been gassed himself, declined to initiate a gas attack. He knew the Allies could dish it out a lot better than Germany could.

Because a bomb tends to kill people very quickly. Sarin gas basically tortures you to death.

Both can have survivors, but gas in a nonlethal dose can still fry the lungs and make it very difficult to breathe for the rest of your life.
