I just don't understand why gassing is worse than bombing the shite out of them. Hasn't that been going on forever?

Because a bomb tends to kill people very quickly. Sarin gas basically tortures you to death.

Both can have survivors, but gas in a nonlethal dose can still fry the lungs and make it very difficult to breathe for the rest of your life.
