Perhaps, but this is a biggie. Chemical weapons on civilian populations is pretty bad. Especially since most of the world has signed up on the weapons banning treaties. It's already bad that North Korea pulled out of the test ban treaty.
Ultimately the problem isn't Syria. It's the message to everyone else that our threats have no bite. That will have serious consequences down the line.
That's why presidents should know who is who and what the hell is going on before issuing ultimatums. That was really stupid IMO.
