| Why West, amid horrors of modern war, is struggling to set red lines Posted: 16 Apr 2018 12:07 PM PDT ![Why West, amid horrors of modern war, is struggling to set red lines]( "Why West, amid horrors of modern war, is struggling to set red lines") A "red line" against the gassing of civilians has been drawn.

It's a Saturday, and he has been up since 4:30 a.m., when he headed to Kansas City for a CNN interview – only to be displaced at the last minute by the latest Trump drama.
