International law does not really exist 1st time poster. Because there is no one that can enforce it(don't say UN). Any law created today will be to the liking of US and they will be the ones to enforce it. This'll change soon with China taking over but even then the law will be to the liking of the powerful.

In today's world, the only thing that will save you is nuclear weapons. Countries that have them have committed crimes worse than Syria and are still going.

It's highly unlikely that too many pro-Daesh fans will take exception to what will be seen as an assault against Assad.

The millions and millions of £s this has cost, is money we haven't got for Health, Police, Education etc... Local authorities are capped, there is no money.

Arms and war, loads of innocent people killed and maimed - imagine being an ordinary Syrian civilian. For what?
So some arms traders make money, so there might be a boost in the polls and to suck up to Trump.

They wouldn't dream of simply bombing Assad's palace. That might set off a trend of leaders being got/bombed to stop a war.
I reckon it's an unwritten agreement between all national leaders not to actually kill each other, but to decimate their lands and kill their citizens is OK.
