The photos of dead children and babies are horrific.
Estimates are 100 dead and many more poisoned but surviving.
The only hope: that this attack will topple Bashar al-Assad and his government.

I call on all nations to pressure Putin to drop Russian support of Assad.
France has taken steps to convene an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
