Did you think the unwinding of Colonialism and Cold War structures would be pretty?
Also, the precursor chemicals for Sarin are pretty easy to make, especially for a Country with modern means like Syria. It's very unstable as well and only lasts a few weeks they say once mixed. Thinking this came from Iraq is pretty silly considering multiple investigations have shown Iraq didn't have active weapons programs.
I think it's less likely that Assad would order its use. More likely he'd just jump ship with a plane load of cash and his wife's wardrobe.
Bigger concern would be the military leadership who's left in charge and who might try and retain power rather than be taken to task by the militants.
