Meanwhile, where is our response to the thousands of children that have been injured, killed, or are currently dying in Yemen? Where is our response to the 750 people who were shot and 15 killed on the Gaza border not that long ago?
Horrific things have happened and continue to happen all over the world with no response from our government...why do we keep choosing Syria to exhibit our moral superiority?
Thoughts?
Few details are out so soon, but even the CNN reports I saw this morning called the attack "precise" and "limited" and admitted that it sent a message without causing enough concern for retaliation. (Talk about shock and awe: CNN seemingly reporting on the facts.)
This bombing as not intended to address the civil war over there. It was entirely focused on the chemical weapon attack.
Overall, this seems well restrained.
The only thing illegal was Syria's use of chemical weapons. And now they know there will be consequences.
You seem to simultaneously want the US to do less (stop bombing Syria) and more (let's bomb everyone who perpetrate atrocities).
