Is there reason to believe the strikes will result in thousands of innocent casualties?

They claim that they're only striking "chemical weapon research facilities". Looks like it's 4am there, so I guess not a lot of people in research facilities (plus they've been forewarned of the potential strikes)

I mean before this in various regions it's been fine for the west to pummel places yet when one small attack (which I also disagree with) happens it's a "red line". I find it a little hard to swallow their concern for innocents driving this action.

All I hope is that the regime didn't do the same shitty thing it did in anticipation of Obama's response in 2013, when they moved prisoners into evacuated air bases, in hopes that the US will kill them.
