TIMELINE BY DANA MIELE

Syria has been at civil war for the past two years. The fight between government and rebels has conducted a death toll of over 100,000 people and has created 2 million refugees.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has used chemical weapons against the civilians of Syria, changing the course of modern warfare.

The U.S. wants to intervene, saying that the use of chemical weapons is unethical war.
