that makes zero sense. 0
now, *our* reaction to that ( and it is a reaction, it's not a response, there's a huge difference) is to punish them and send a message to other countries by killing more people.
and let's be crystal fucking clear: that is the exact reason we are being given for justification to bomb/attack. it's a punitive reaction and an attempt to send a message.
ummm, that's 3rd grade level diplomacy.

THEY ARE BANNED WEAPONS. PERIOD. What the...?!
YES, dead is dead, so why now? Chemical weapons.
And YES again, it will be a punitive attack! It will be punishment for using chemical weapons which are banned worldwide by treaty. That's the entire point, and it's the entire argument, and it's why this is not taking sides in a civil war, or forpetesakes joining a war. It is going to be a spanking and a damn hard one too in order to remind brutal fuckwits that you're not allowed to kill people that way. Kill them some other way and we'll sit here wringing our hands in debates! Use chemical or nuclear weapons? Fuck no you didn't.
Again, to be undecided or cynical of who made the attacks with the gas is totally normal. But to say outright right now that even if they were used that we should do nothing? Completely moronic and immoral! Those idiots are inviting hell.
