On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians using a deadly nerve agent.
) ?8 m) H& A8 U# D' \ t' a% `Assad choked out the lives of innocent men, women and children. It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack.

There can be no dispute that Syria used banned chemical weapons, violated its obligations under the chemical weapons convention, and ignored the urging of the UN security council.5 N8 R1 V |9 M, C8 Q
Years of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behaviour have all failed and failed very dramatically.
