dictators like Assad lack affection,same no love lost for terrorists from al-Qaeda, who are likely to seize power in Syria if Assad loses control after a US military strike.But US cannot afford to stay silent on the use of chemical.possible outcome- to establish culpibility and bring the perpetrators to trial before an international tribunal for committing crimes against humanity.USA credibility to stop any use of WMD would be at stake!-Missle strikes-best option, (thereby keeping American boots off Syrian soil) with targets: a) Syrian goverment facilities related to research & production of chemical weapons(save stockpiles to remove later),b) Concurrent strikes against any bases related to al-Qaeda and Hezballah in Syria,c)keep neurtral position with respect to all sides in Syria conflict
