Will the US attack Syria to send a message to Iran?

It has nothing to do with Iran - Iran have actually stated that whom ever used chem weapons needs to be punished.

Thing is, chemical weapons are potentially far worse wmd than nuclear due to size and ease of production. The USA realise that no one should ever be allowed to use such things as once it goes unpunished, the lid is off and all hell will break loose.

Except the US of course. It seems only they can get away with using such weapons. Remember agent orange or napalm? 

Napalm is an incendiary, not a chemical weapon, and agent orange was used for defoliage and never meant to be used on people. If they wanted to use chem weapons, they would have dropped VX gas. That would have won them the war easily....but been probably the worst genocide since the concentration camps.

With all the suffering they caused back in Vietnam, they really should of backed away from other countrie's affairs years ago. It's like conflict has become a drug to American presidents and congress, they feel they need at least one war to feel acomplished. Nothing else matters to them. The huge public opposition at home and abroad never matters to them and despite the economy being in such a state that don't seem to matter to them either.

Syria is no one's business. The civil war will end itself if it had the chance. And so what if Assad forces used chemical weapons? Currently it is nothing more than an allegation and is not really a reason for an escalated war even if it happened. War used to be a final resort, it should be treated as such. War also used to be a reaction to an actual threat. Syria is not a threat to the United States, it's more of a threat to itself than anything. And to make it worse if the US went in, it would fight along with Al Qaeda and other rebels despite what is happening in Afghanistan. it makes no sense.

Finally, what if Assad's opposition used chemical weapons? I'm sure war would escalate anyway.
