Now evidence is mounting of such a crime. If it proves solid, Mr Obama's reaction will show Mr Assad, and the rest of the world, whether American threats are to be taken seriously. Chemical weapons are not much use on the battlefield, but they can demoralise the rebels and spread terror among the population. They may have an indirect purpose, too, for Mr Assad. If he uses them and the outside world fails to take action, his supporters are likelier to conclude that he will stay in power and his opponents will lose faith.
