Respond firmly and if necessary, militarily, to the use of chemical weapons in Syria. We misguidedly went to war with Iraq under the premise that they possessed, or might use chemical weapons. Those mistakes should not be confused with responding to a country that is actually currently using chemical weapons in civilian areas just so a minority government can maintain wealth and power. A failure to respond prolongs the conflict in Syria, and tells countries and organizations across the world that there are no consequences to using chemical weapons on your own citizens.
