The unfortunate thing is that we have no real proof, and we can only take the word of the government on it. The same government that is now in the hands of the party that outright LIED to get us to invade Iraq on false pretenses (WMDs). Do I believe them government in this regard? Fuck no. The government under the control of the republicans has had a track record of lying to create war for profit. (not that some of the actions by democratic party leadership has been much different in that regard but that's not the point.)

But Assad isn't a nice guy. It's also not without reason to think that he is capable of using chemical weapons on his own people. Hell he did it before in August of 2013 so that gives a strike against him and makes it far more reasonable to believe that he did it again. Assad doesn't give a fuck about human rights or following international law when it comes to using banned weapons.

So the questions people need to ask themselves at this point is these: Is there enough reason to believe that Assad used chemical weapons on his own people for the second time? And if yes, do you believe that the actions of the government are justified as a response towards the Assad regime for the use of Sarin Gas for the second time.

Considering the fact that Sarin is a banned weapon under the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993 of which Syria did agree to be apart of in October 2013. If the attack was launched by Assads forces under his orders then IMO he should be brought up on charges for war crimes since logically Syria is in a state of civil war which should put him square in the sights of the international criminal court.
