Syrian civil war

"The international community cannot remain silent on Syria... I didn't set the red line. The world did " 
- President Obama

I agree that actions should be made because if nothing is done, integrity of the international law will be questioned. It is also true that if no action is made, it will give ideas to other nations like Syria, Iran, etc. that violation of international norms won't be dealt seriously.

However, is striking Syria the only solution? Makes me think if the US didn't violate international norms when they sent firefighters to bomb Afghanistan.

As different nations hold debates and discussions, the citizens of Syria continue to suffer.
