yeah lets hope when the UK, France and to a lesser extent the US all suffer from terrorist atrocities in revenge that Trump, May and Macron are putting themselves in the firing line, oh wait they have 24 hr security, I guess much like Syria its the general public who will suffer.
As a UK national what input did I have into my countries decision......ZERO
You're just scare to fight back. Need balls.

I voted for Trump.
I have no regrets for voting for Trump.
But I disagree with his actions last night.
I just want Trump to be leader of the US of A.
The world? Not so much.

I still support the president due to the many campaign promises he has kept. But the strike last night was a broken promise to his supporters. If he doesn’t withdraw from Syria by time his first term is up, he won’t have my vote again.
No broken promise that I can see. perhaps you can link to a specific where that action violates any Trump promise? I shall not hold my breath...

There will attempts to keep the U.S. involved....by many. Hopefully, it won't work.
So why on earth would Assad want to keep the US involved??
Islamic Militants Could Have Used Chemical Weapons in Syria, Not Assad – Analyst
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said a reported chemical attack in Syria was staged by foreign agents. A spokesman for Russia's defense ministry accused the UK of being involved in staging the attack.

Syria: UN Mission Report Confirms that “Opposition” Rebels Used Chemical Weapons against Civilians and Government Forces
According to Seymour Hersh, a journalist who has won the Pulitzer Prize, President Donald Trump ordered the bombing of Syria in April, despite having no evidence that the Bashar al-Assad government had used chemical weapons in the Syrian Civil War. In fact, Hersh contends that Trump ignored evidence to the contrary when he used 59 Tomahawk missiles to bomb Syria in retaliation against the Assad regime.

i will tyr and deffend what honour our country has left, most of the UK people did not want this attack on syria
Please explain to me where the honor is in allowing repeated chemical weapon usage on civilians without consequence.
1. prove ther was a chemical attack ??
2. russia has proof UK set this up ??
3. the Un are on the ground of the attack so they will have the evidance of no attack.
4. UK attacked why parliment was not in session " conveniant" as parliment would have denied the use of milatry force.
5. only 15% of UK people agreed to a milatry intervention..
so until the truth comes out and the real proof is there no one can say they were right or wrong

I second that.We have enough problems here at home.
I view it as a preventative act that lessens the chance of a major conflict down the road. I want the U.S. out of the ME. This speeds that process, in my opinion.
I am afraid that there will be more “gas” attacks in the future.We are not going anywhere.IMHO
i dont know if you read the news,?? the last town held by the rebels was freed 2 days ago no terorist towns left so who is gonna gas who ??

Pretty sad when someone has to kill other people and start a war in order to become "leader of the world". You guys are delusional, nothing good ever comes from war, the only thing that increases are TPTB bank accounts and the body count.

What all of this conveniently ignores is that Syria states it gave all chemical weapons to Russia. Russia stated it controls all chemical weapons in Syria.
It is, therefore, academic who used them. The weapons are of Syrian and Russian responsibility.
The very fact that there is/was manufacturing facilities to even target in the first place is prima facie evidence of Russian-Syrian culpability.
Chemical weapon storage and manufacturing sites is what was targeted. This doesn't require a degree in rocket science to sort out. Everyone and their third cousin wants their 'input' before action is taken, including the U.N., sorry but that leads to vacillation and eventual appeasement which empowers further attacks down the road.
Fair enough if you don't agree with that assessment. It makes complete sense to me.
I see the ME as a bit more stable, a bit more predictable today than yesterday. Leadership doesn't require consensus. It doesn't require being liked, admired or agreement. So far, Putin has backed down. The action is over and time will tell the results.
Nothing in the OP suggests that that leadership will be long lasting, proven correct or agreed upon. On this day, and for some time, I suspect, Trump and the U.S. has resumed it's leadership role.
Like it or not. JMO, though.
