Can't we F up Syria another way - like a cyberattack or something?

I'm undecided on a missile attack. But it seems like we should have a lot of other ways to disrupt Assad - cyber attack, seize assets, get other countries to freeze his accounts, have France ban his nasty wife from shopping in Paris, hack her Instagram where she posts pictures of herself wearing $5,000 dresses!...

There has got to be a lot of other things we can do.

...unless it's in immediate self defense or unless it's conducted under U.N. authorization.
