This isn't a history question. – SevenSidedDie Aug 20 '12 at 23:52
@harold Because 1) China and Russia don't want anyone to interfere (because it could be used as a president for invading Authoritarian regims stated above) 2) Syria hasn't used the weapons yet. – Russell Aug 21 '12 at 7:47

If you have a historical framework for this great, but otherwise its a foreign policy question which doesn't really fit the FAQ guidelines. – MichaelF Aug 21 '12 at 9:05
