John Kerry actually said...

We will either send a message to Syria, Iran, North Korea, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, and any other nonstate actors that the world will not tolera...

The message is that he has been granted impunity, the freedom to choose to use the weapons again or force us to go through this cycle again.

When someone kills and injures hundreds of children with a weapon the world has banned, we are all responsible.

If we do not answer Assad today, we will erode a standard that has existed for those 100 years.
