So if it turns out that Assad did order the sarin gas attack and it wasn't a leak from a factory as someone claimed, should he not be charged with war crimes and tried for crimes against humanity.
How is this different than what Saddam Hussein did?
I think the world court or whoever does these things needs to investigate and indict is appropriate. Then let NATO go get him.
Like 4 years ago, they may just find out Assad had nothing to do with it.
It was a False Flag to bring USA to oust Assad so the Muslim Brotherhood can take over and start ethnic cleansing.
Saudi's were responsible last time....
Exactly who is going to hold him accountable? Nothing will happen, and if he steps down- he'll just go hide in another country. These international charges are a waste of time. It all sounds great at the time- just like a politician making promises during their campaign.

Well NATO and 'the coalition of the willing' were not the ones who got stuck with the endless Iraq War, initiated mostly to remove Saddam (despite all the BS reasons given).
We do not need to start another mess of a quagmire in Syria, which is an even more complicated mess than Iraq. There is also Russia, Iran and ISIS to deal with if we go there.
Iraq opened a Pandora's box of demons and out came ISIS. God knows what could happen if the US gets involved with removing Assad.

Unless Assad is deposed, any trial would be in abstentia and Assad would remain free in Syria. He is a war criminal, as is Putin in Russia (for aid to Syria in this civil war and especially for the siege of Aleppo). But no court will take them to task while they remain heads of state.

Out came ISIS and the Syrian Civil War. If the US attempted to remove Assad militarily, you would have an expansion and intensification of the Iraq War. We would have troops in Syria and Iraq targeted by irregular forces supported by our rivals. We would have no political solution in sight. This would not end well.

See above. There is no one to hold him accountable. You have to depose him--either militarily or politically. The military "solution" is fraught. The political solution means negotiating with Russia. They get to work with the Syrian government to win the civil war by any means necessary, a new, pro-Russian dictator takes power from Assad (almost certainly someone with deep connections to the Syrian military), and perhaps the US recognizes Crimea and winds down sanctions on Russia. In exchange, Assad is deposed by his successor and likely tried & executed in Syria. That's a lot to give, especially when Assad is just one high-profile name among the many Syrian and Russian war criminals involved in this civil war.
