In all honesty, I don't think there is enough evidence to invade syria. There isn't enough evidence that it was the regime that killed those civilians. If we had that evidence we would be waving it about our heads for everyone to see. Since the governments aren't doing that, i can only assume that we don't have evidence. But on the other hand, revealing the evidence could maybe expose spys in syria or something idk.
Also we need to consider motivations. Assad knows that the world is watching him, it would be a ridiculous act of stupidity to gas his own people, he knows that action would be taken against him. This makes it seem unlikely that he would do it. Then again, he could just be a crazy psychopath and so he did it.
Also, look at the rebels. They could have done it too. Maybe they got so desperate that they gassed those civilians to frame Assad, that way the world would have to act and support them. On the other hand, these rebels are just normal people, they are essentially civilians with guns. I doubt they could do that to their own people. Unless it was conducted up in the higher chain of command and kept from the grunts?
Needless to say, if Assad did gas those civillians, there is no question that he has to be taken down. For things to change, some people have to die. The problem is the evidence.
What do you guys think?
