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.
From our point of view, yes, it seems weird. But think of some precedents. Hitler ordered the disposal of every Jew when he knew his time was coming to an end. North Korea loves to keep taunting the US and other nations, even though they could be invaded and defeated in less than a week if the US wanted to. The US nuked Japan when the war was already won. In war, logic doesn't always come into play. There's crazy people making crazy decisions and it's pointless to try and get into their heads.
I think the main thing people are forgetting is that no country is trying to invade Syria. They're not out to take control of the government. There's no oil to be had. It's simply assisting the rebels to take over, so that the atrocities can come to an end. Will the rebels be the same or worse? Maybe, absolutely a possibility, but at least some countries will have taken responsibility to at least try to bring some peace to chaotic regions in the world.
God knows it should have happened AGES ago for a lot of African countries too, where there is a perpetual war between governments and rebels, with civilians caught in the middle every single day. You need only talk to medical personal that volunteers over there. It's only the dance of politics that stands in the way of solving conflicts. That much is true for EVERY country in the world.
