You don't need aircraft to launch a chemical attack or long range artillery for that matter. Seriously go out and do a little bit of research before you lock yourself into one position and start calling for war. Some of the rebels themselves have admitted to having chemical weapons and the intent to use them. There's footage showing rebels believed to be firing chemical rockets. Granted none of this is conclusive evidence that "rebels" did it, but it's far more evidence than has been provided to date that Assad's forces did the attack.
Here's a few links to get you started:

Yes they're horrible weapons. You don't even have conclusive evidence of who did the attack and you're supporting a "solution" of bombing people.. ie incinerating and dismembering people in big explosions, many of whom may not die straight away and have frankly just as horrible deaths. Maybe you should also research the effect of using depleted uranium weapons in Iraq, and agent orange in Vietnam. I'm sure similar atrocities will occur in Syria if you get the war you want.

Ok,
you personally go fight it then. Please be sure to go to a site like liveleak and do a search of some of the videos of your new "Syrian rebel" allies have proudly put out. I'm not posting links as it's stuff that will make most people feel like throwing up, but you huller need to see it.

Think about what you just wrote in my last quote.. I mean really think about it.
