If the U.S., or anyone else for that matter, decides to ‘punish’
Assad, and there’s no disputing the fact that he deserves to be dealt with
harshly, nothing of long-term benefit will occur. It will only be a temporary
setback and maybe make a problem situation worse. To rid Syria of Assad, opens
the door to years of civil war between fighting factions of jihadists all bent
on imposing some sort of population controlling rule that is likely worse than
Assad. The situation in Syria is one whereby the external stakeholders realize
that the outcome will be defined by the degree of wickedness that will remain.
Sometimes intervention is not beneficial and perhaps this is one of those
times.

Assad Alternative Could Be Worse
It seems that with each passing day, the arguments being
advanced to stay out of Syria are getting stronger. More people are coming to
the realization that this is not about good versus evil, but simply the level
of evilness that will emerge as victor. No one disputes the atrocities being
committed and even though there has been no provision of direct proof linking
Assad to the chemical attacks, his denial of involvement is far from
convincing.
