US will initiate missile strikes on Syria 'as early as Thursday' to 'send a message'

Even that is something one should consider the likely effects of based on past experience, rather than blindly assuming it would help. But it’s not even relevant here:

The “three days” of strikes would be limited in scope, and aimed at
sending a message to Syria’s President Bashar Assad rather than
degrading his military capabilities, U.S. officials told NBC News.

So that shows my point: people may be interested in doing something, but there doesn’t seem to be much interest in figuring out if what we could do that might actually improve the situation.
