We cannot act until we have irrefutable proof. Let's bomb Syria. I have a hunch it will show assad who's boss.

A good idea, sure, but it shouldn't be done in such a way to reduce his hold on region, as a secular dictator is better than sharia theocracy
"Climatologists say Syria is a grim preview of what could be in store for the larger Middle East, the Mediterranean and other parts of the world. The drought, they maintain, was exacerbated by climate change. The Fertile Crescent—the birthplace of agriculture some 12,000 years ago—is drying out. Syria's drought has destroyed crops, killed livestock and displaced as many as 1.5 million Syrian farmers. In the process, it touched off the social turmoil that burst into civil war, according to a study published in March in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA. A dozen farmers and former business owners like Ali with whom I recently spoke at camps for Syrian refugees say that's exactly what happened."
