I think a big problem is that a year later there is still no evidence to confirm Assad was responsible for the first one. Even Trump's National Security Adviser has admitted it. And now again, all we have are "White Hats" (see Muslim Brotherhood) and questionable video. Risking killing anyone, just one person, for what is a clearly politically motivated action is on the edge of being immoral itself.

It is tragic that any innocent person is killed in any manner. What difference does the method make? For years the Syrian civil war has killed hundreds of thousands, civilians, soldiers, women, children and men. It has made the lives of those who remain almost unbearable while fearing harm or death and trying to get enough of their basic needs to remain alive. What difference does it make to the individual who is being murdered as to how they are being murdered. Would any sane person shredded by bombs and bullets watching their children die or knowing their children would become orphans be saying; "well, at least it wasn't gas!"
It is an excuse to engage in a war that only concerns America when the concern is what will be the economic results not what are the humanitarian results. This has been (as are all wars) a humanitarian disaster no matter how it is prosecuted.

Much earlier than that. U.S. Marines were part of the action fighting Boxers in China in the early 1900s. What American interest were we protecting there? Although the Philippines declared their independence from Spain in 1898 (with our help), they remained a U.S. puppet until 1946. Staged a Panama "uprising" against Columbia in the same period, so we could build the Panama Canal. In the 1920s we were engaged in fighting in several Central American countries to "stabilize" the region. We seem to be addicted to the questionable premise that by helping one group in a sovereign country murder their fellow citizens, we're actually acting for noble principles and exporting American freedom.

after the beam up, it would be a roomy planet..you and me and a few others.....

Interesting how they wail this is an injury to them, and yet remained silent when American airstrikes killed 200 Russian mercenaries that had stupidly sent artillery fire against a base where they knew Americans were stationed. I guess we're supposed to pretend we know nothing about the several thousand Russian mercenaries embedded with Syrian forces?

if we go to war with russia we will take our uranium mine back. but war with them is not now nor ever going to happen.

Right! Words can offend and hurt your feelings.

Obama's "red line" basically told Bashar al-Assad that he had free reign to do what he wishes with chemical weapons. To quote an infamous do-nothing President, "don't tell me words don't matter."

Ja, sure.....

Me dino sees your two and raises to three.

Well, he did a year ago for the same reason. I agree that we cannot be the policeman of the world imposing our view on others, and I also see a problem with isolationism, as you will wake up one day with the whole world 180 out from you and wanting to impose themselves on you. That makes it a hard decision to draw a line somewhere. But killing people with gas is not a good thing. Yet 95% of the world stood mute.

I'm opposed to this strike. I don't believe the premise causing us to strike. Don't like blowing people up. Don't like playing "Russian roulette". Don't like who they are calling "Syrian rebels" on the news.

I was hoping the prospect of lower taxes and reduced regulations would be the direction of this president. But, I sense we are getting back to what the establishment wants. We'll see how this turns out. Ask me in a year...

Yep, a thousand....and two...

I thought Putin said American warships would be retaliated against (as in "blown out of the water") if that air strike happened.
Instead, Putin went crying to the UN.
Cheeseckae Donald ain't perfect but at least he's good at seeing through bluffs. Just ask Kim Jong-un, that other chicken-hearted big-mouthed bully.
Should Bad Hair Day survive the witch hunt, history may compare him to "bully hero" Teddy Roosevelt. ("Bully" wasn't quite used the same way in Theodore's day).
Well, maybe that might happen after 500 years.
A thousand?

I understand your point, and I agree in most instances, we have no moral authority to intervene in any other country, especially when you apply the same logic to the illegals who come here and ask what right they have to do so? It ends up being the same situation, if your country is a sh@thole, you own the cleanup. The one fact is that chemical weapons are outlawed by all countries and most, if not all are signatories to that. Russia seems hell bent on claiming it didn't happen, and the US, France and Britain say it did. Given that all of them have lied in the past to support their own goals, that is flimsy evidence at best.

US will keep making these mistakes, forever!

And we the people stand by idly accepting the murders done by the feds.

"to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it"
...
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. "

Ever since getting away with attacking and bombing the hell out of a country was labeled a “police action” not requiring congressional approval, by Truman, this has been repeated.

How did alleged chemical weapons use in Syria threaten America?
Since they did not threaten America there was no legitimate reason for American air strikes in Syria.
The federal government is being controlled by traitors who are opposed to the American people and violate the US Constitution repeatedly.
Tyranny must be ended in America.
