Is there an alternative to bombing Syria? Rep. Chris Smith thinks so.

Is there an alternative to bombing Syria? Rep. Chris Smith (R-NY) thinks so.

"The House Republican from New Jersey introduced a bill Wednesday to set up a Syrian war crimes tribunal as an alternative to missile strikes against Bashar Assad’s government. Smith’s resolution would call for an immediate ceasefire in Syria and direct the president to work with the United Nations to set up a tribunal to investigate war crimes committed by both the Syrian government and rebel groups in the country."

This does sound pretty good. I'm not sure it would work, but it does seem reasonable enough to try with little downside.
