I find it very odd that these terrible images of the babies in Syria helped moved him to strike, even going so far as to say, "no child of God has to suffer that", yet he's been trying to ban them from coming here to be saved from these kinds of attacks.

Can't have compassion for those you'd rather not live with?
(jus saying civil rights wouldn't have gotten off the ground -and- middle east peace why bother)

" There doesn't seem to be any proof that Assad was responsible"
It boggled my mind as to why Assad would do this since he is winning.
But, numerous reports appear to show the launch of planes, the flight paths at the time of the gassing, and return to base.
The only explaination that makes ANY sense to me, is that the attacks were made by Assad's own forces in an attempt to bring him down. A coup of sorts.

true
Maybe if this hastens the end of hostilities there'll be less migration of the herds?

I was responding to the quote of another poster.
If you are saying that in my scenario that Assad was not responsible, I would agree. The evidence leads back to his base, but may not lead to Assad giving the orders.

Welllll it is Syrian state-run media distributing those photos so color me skeptical. It very well may have happened, but did they also report on the sarin attack? No.

1. Attacking your own civilians with WMDs changes the situation.
2. This was more about sending a message to Russia and China to get their "crazy allies" under control. Both Russia and China respect strength & we have to rebuild our rep after Obama made us look weaker than a snowflake on 1/21/17

This is nowhere near creating another Iraq situation. I really f**king hate agreeing with John McCain, but he is right this is correct response just like when Pres Reagan attacked Libya in the 80s.

Agree to disagree here

Last night's actions =/= being the world police

ISIS declared war on us; so we do need to be there to destroy them.

This attack was not about Syria's threat to the USA. This attack was to tell Assad, Putin, and Xi (China's president) that Pres Trump is not Pres Obama, and we will reinforce our red lines. Which is very important because Russia will never attempt a move on the Baltics while there is a POTUS with a backbone in the White House, and we need China to get onboard to get North Korea under control.

I have no clue while Obama didn't do this. We can touch buttons in underground facilities you have never heard of in thr Southwest make cities vanish. It would be prudent to remind Putin of this

Who the frick is saying this is the war to end all wars?
This was done to send a message and was punishment for using chemical weapons.
If Trump had wanted to get involved bigly he would have sent the B1's and B2's. If that happens the vast majority of Assads military would be gone in less than a week. But he didnt do that. Trump just scolded a toddler who was misbehaving.
