Someone in Syria crossed the line - now what?

Now with an apparent chemical attack, the source of which is not clearly known, the situation is rapidly degrading. Syria has chemical munitions - what if those were to fall into the hands of terrorists? This is a very fragile situation with no easy answers. It might be time to identify reliable anti-government forces and provide them more sophisticated weapons - BUT NO TROOPS. Not doing so will be a major impediment should they prevail in parts of the country but not others leading to an even longer civil war with chemical munitions the golden ring.
