"why would you use any chemicals or WMD's aren't machine guns and bombs, benevolent enough?"

Yes, but guns don't stir up the emotions of fear and anger like chemicals or WMD ... you need something dramatic to convince the people that they must go to war.

Over a hundred thousand people murdered by conventional [sic] weapons, more than 1 million people are now refugees and that was not enough to compel the western world of the brutality that is going on ... but over 100 people murdered by gas, that presents another picture.

But ... is it too late? You will now have to take on Iran over this. Iran, there had to be a good excuse to take on Iran. Now they have one. After all, there are no more rebels against Assad, The brutality (which parallels anything Assad's troops had previously done) of these now so called rebels is orchestrated by various extremists groups mainly out of Iran.
