Not sure why you mention Clinton and Obama, but for the most part the raid was well received.

Those on the extreme far right are upset, but reality, as mentioned a number of places, including me on here will not work in the world as it is today.

The world is smaller. Trade is universal. You cannot simply close up and shut out the world.

This was about two things to me.....you cannot gas anyone, let alone so many innocents. I still think of the United States as a leader and thus we cannot ignore such things.

Secondly, the Russians have been doing as they wish anywhere they want. They and Iran have propped up Assad for a long time. Russia told the UN they would keep the gas weapons under control, and we are still looking into whether they were directly involved.

There was no intent to drive anyone out of Syria...we have troops in Syria. It was purely and totally a message down to the type of weaponary.
