So this war is really a Proxy war far more against Iran than with Assad.

It's an inheritance from the obsequious pacifism of Trump's predecessors. You want peace? ... then just submit. It was a slow process, but that was where we were at. What does it take to turn it around? An act of war. It's playground logic, and playground reality.

Not nearly the same......Obama demanded ‘regime change’...Pres. Trump has not mentioned even once regime change..... Rather strategic attacks on chemical weapons..... Britain also publicly stated very clearly this was NOT about regime change. And must be remembered France and Britain were actively involved in this attack against Syria's chemical weaponry.....who I've been listening to their Press conference for the last 30 minutes....

One other thing.....the efforts recently of Nation leaders meeting at the Security Council to force Syria to comply with the laws, which banned use of chemical weapons world wide, were blocked by Russia.
