Story highlights Kenneth Roth: Trump's one-day emotional response to horrors of a particular chemical attack in Syria is not enoughHe says the US needs a coherent policy to end the Syrian people's sufferingKenneth Roth is executive director of Human Rights Watch. (CNN) How do we make sense of President Donald Trump's military response to the April 4 sarin attack on the town of Khan Sheikhoun, which evidence shows was launched by Syrian government forces? Or was Trump showing that even he has limits to the atrocities he will tolerate? Russia claims that the April 4 attack was a Syrian conventional bomb that happened to hit a "terrorist" chemical weapons cache on the ground. That cover story was quickly undercut by the fact that Khan Sheikhoun residents began suffering symptoms from a sarin attack five hours before Russia said the conventional attack took place.
