here's the other thing to consider. according to some reports, the chem strike was indeed by assad's forces, commanded by his younger brother, they've even pinppointed the battalions that launched the strikes.
the rationale behind the strike was to quell the uprising there, the syrian spring. by all accounts, assad's dropping chem bombs not only did not quell the uprising, the bombings have fueled it and by some accounts, was the catalyst for escalating it all to civil war.
and so we're gonna drop bombs over there to send a message? they are not going to get that message.
