Who gives right to USA to attack Syria?

UN didn't confirm that Assad used chem weapons.

USA will again brake the international law (just like in cases of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan or Yugoslavia).

What makes you equate Assad and Syria?
If US attacks without UN approval, it will be illegal (US has ratified UN charter) unless US can legally justify it.

Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan were UN sanctioned operations. NATO operation in Kosovo was not.
