We aren't on some moral mission to stop Assad from gassing women and children. This is their way of selling it to the public. We don't give a shite, if we did we would have invaded North Korea, about a dozen African nations and lord knows who else.

This waste of taxpayer money is not ensuring the security of the American people and is only serving the interests of those who profit off of it.

Why is it the people who are the most gullible for media hype always the ones telling us not to be gullible for the media hype?

The reality is that what Trump did is what Obama should have done. Boys and girls wake up, this world is only as safe as we Americans make it! If you think moral relativism or isolation is the excuse to ignore The use age of chemical weapons, then you want our country to cease being the lone good force in the world.

Riddle me this, the very air base with chemical weapons that was destroyed was being used by Hezbolla. How long before wmds are on a truck to Western Europe? Or a ship to the US?

Waste of tax payer money??

Pretty sure we already spent the money on 3500 Tomahawk missiles. So actually using a whopping 1.6% of them is pretty refreshing and easily worth the political optics.

Well Clinton, Bush, and Barry didn't. Trumps only been in office a few months. I don't think you can determine his value on human life yet. All signs do point to him having the balls to tell the world killing the innocent won't be tolerated any longer.

yes, killing civilians in a foreign country, while trying to prevent civilians from being killed in a foreign country is a great strategy.... love being that "lone good".... oh, and Canada, the UK, and a bunch of other countries would love to hear your reasoning why they too are not considered an agent of doing "good"

yet, we do nothing to them elsewhere... riddle me that...

Our government doesn't give two fricks about its own people and we're supposed to believe that we're helping out the unfortunate halfway around the world?

I am very serious when I say this: You'd have to be mentally retarded to believe that.

I am pretty sure there would be no modern Europe except for the blanket of protection we have provided them for the past 117 years. They would all be Nazi or Soviets if not for the US.

The US is the leading democracy in the world. As a leader it is incumbent upon us to take charge. That is how it has been since the 1918. As the lone superpower we have the responsibility to keep idiots in line. If not for the US the world would be inherently more dangerous. We are servant leaders of the world. Leaders do not sit on the sideline and watch babies being gassed to death. And we certainly do not allow gas to be used in the same theater where our troops are fighting for your freedom.

To many people today have bought the leftest hype that the US is what is wrong in the world. I am here to say if you believe that, you are an idiot.

Well, I don't think it's true that we don't give a shite, some don't like to see people dying a slow, painful death - might just be the humanity in some. If there are chemical weapons to be had in such a destabilized country, what control is there on where they end up? Furthermore, it is in everyone's best interests to attempt to find a resolution to stop the out-pour of refugees. Also, North Korea has nuclear capabilities that could very well be used on South Korea, so that's a whole other end game.

But yes, sure, there are profiteers that have not a moral bone in their body and only care about the MIC. We'll see how this progresses. Hopefully Trump will keep it isolated and not pull the trigger on an all out, long and costly conflict.
