Because what starts out as one thing usually turns into regime change in these countries.Assad is a disgrace but what may come in his place may be worse when the alternative is a load of Islamist Jihadis.

The French president has the evidence. A targeted strike at chemical weapons dumps is no big deal. Would you prefer to leave Syria and the Russians to it, and just wait for the next event here? Because it becomes much more likely if the world lets them away with it.
