Assad's action where inhumane, and a major breach of the rules of the Geneva Convention. A response was warranted.

Trump actions were warranted properly measured and effective in that he made it clear he is not "no drama Obama" as John Bolton refers to him.

Trump's actions coupled with Haley's message to the UN will certainly make it clear where America stands.

However if Trump did not respond then our foes worldwide would have viewed him and thus America as still weak and with no will to act.

Trump was also right not to go to Congress because those guys have a difficult time deciding what they will have for lunch let alone make real decisions.

Trump needs to strategically position our Army, Navy Air Force to demonstrate to our allies and enemies that we mean business. In my view this really is a deterrent to prevent this situation from escalating.

finally it was predictable that the usual suspect would surface with their standard criticisms . Meantime serious people continue with the laboring oars.
