The logic you're using is not valid.  For example, what a person does
within his own home is not always legitimate.  For example, he may not
take meth, he may not have sex with his daughter, and he may not
commit murder.  These are all considered to be criminal actions, and
the perpetrator could be convicted of a crime and sent to jail for a
long time.

Similarly, al-Assad's actions are not at all legitimate, just because
his actions occur within his country's borders.  Using Sarin gas on
innocent women and children and little babies, or on any people for
that matter, is the criminal action of a war criminal, and al-Assad
could be convicted of a war crime and sent to jail for a long time.

There is no "crime" at the international level; the notion of crimes and criminal acts at the international level is a boomer delusion. The notion that whenever a regime does what the UN considers a crime means that the American must always be opposed to that regime from that moment onwards is again a globalistic boomer delusion.
