I'm opposed to the US overt and covert actions in Syria. It's like we didn't learn from any of our past interventionist mistakes.
So, yes, Assad is a bad guy who's using his army to kill +100 thousand of his own people. These last ~1000 are horrible too.
I think what we should do is; Do our very best to get a UNSC resolution, with Russia and China support in condemning the recent use of chemical weapons. It's not our unilateral role to "punish" Assad for his crimes, until we get him in front of a war crimes tribunal some day.
We preach the rule of law. We should follow it too.
