@ rupert, have you been putting them magic mushrooms on your pizza???
In times of trouble, I often remember the people od London during the Blitz.
In light of possible repercussions, I think that President Obama will do what he thinks is right.
Syria is not WW2 Germany with a firepower superior to that of US of A,repercussions would be regional and geopolitical.

On this Sacred Jewish day, We know that Chemical Weapons were used to Kill- Thousands of people At One Time. Interment camps in secret areas. People sharing a Common Humanity killed. Millions of People Died, in Gas Chambers.
Think of how many people can be killed using this Weapon of Mass destruction at One time.
To inflict the Worst Human Suffering. We Are Americans and By saying that, are held by those same Foundations For Which We Stand. We Stand .
