Obama declared that in the event of chemical weapons being used in Syria, and it seems apparent that they have, then a red line would have been crossed and the USA would feel duty bound to take action.
Will the red line now become pink or will the USA once again get involved? And should they?

The only problem with this is that it can't, at the moment, be proven who actually used them. Both sides gain an advantage one way or another. The only suspicion I have at the moment is their refusal to let the international inspectors visit the area. Should he get involved. Should he get America involved? Big gamble, but doable if done from the air against land, which I do not think any country would contemplate at the moment.
