3. If it were absolutely proven that Assad ordered the chemical attack, I'd approve of a strike.

I would probably also approve if the UN gave approval, since that would mean Russia and China even signed off. But if the UN didn't approve and it were somehow proven to me beyond any reasonable doubt that Assad ordered this, I would probably approve it as well.

My personal preference is for a UN peacekeeping force, an ICC investigation, and pursuit of criminal charges, but I don't think that's going to happen.
