Possible Western military response to Syrian chemical weapons use

[AkSaber]

We have far more pressing matters to attend to at home.

But empire-building comes first.

So, what's the plan exactly to get rid of Assad and make sure the next regime will be stable and democratic?

Considering that the sort of 'military response' being more than considered will certainly not remove the Assad regime and will not stop them engaging in further massacres, could somebody perhaps explain what the point of it will be?

Feel free to answer both questions at once.

There is no plan, and with the UK vote, I suspect no war either. I doubt the US would do this alone.

I hope. Doubt it'll happen, though.
