It’s not war, its a limited strike. I’m all for Americans first but not at the horror of burning civilians, women, children, not at the price of allowing a Hitler-style dictator to inflict agony on people for the crime of existing.

I’d rather face war than let the Obama policy of US-enabled terrorism flourish in the world. Pray for our President, the world is on his shoulders.

So we're world cop? When bad stuff happens it's on the US to kill some more people to *maybe* make one side or other tone down their bad behavior?

I don't think that's what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

Kinda like the Vietnam limited strike, and the Afghan limited strike, and the Iraqi limited strike, which were implemented after Congressional approval and serious investigation.

It's the WAR Powers Act that gives President Trump authority to do this but it strips him of Congressional cover if he acts hastily on false information.

Not worth the risk to put a Sunni terrorist state in place of Assad, and that is the only possible result.
