It does seem an extremely stupid and pointless move for Assad to suddenly bomb a bunch of civilians with chemical weapons for no apparent reason when he knows the USA and friends will get angry. The news keeps going on about civilians - does anyone know if there was actually any tactical advantage in that case that might have warranted the use of those weapons (in his mind, at least)?

Anyway, America is looking less and less like anyone will take them seriously here. Obama tries to make a big deterrent by saying "if we even smell anyone using chemical weapons, we'll come down on them with all our might!" and then each time it happens he fumbles around trying to make an excuse. Ok so it's not so simple as that but that's certainly what it looks like on the surface and it's not helping America's "world superpower" image.
