    So should we stand by and do nothing if Assad releases chemical weapons on his people again?  I know that is the path Obama took. But is it right?

    Just my opinion of course, but shared by many round the world... not to mention that Trump and his followers were supposedly supportive of the ethos that America were NOT supposed to keep thinkin of themselves as the world's policeman... that all that does is cost your country a lot in terms of money, resources and ultimately lives... 

    But the thing is... objectively again.. this looks just like the Iran Iraq war.. the world thought America had NO PLACE sticking their nose in...they thought it was arrogant and ill-advised... NATO were against it.. but America and most of the people around that time spouted defence of the war by saying well we can't sit by and watch people being hurt...  turns out that the very people America sought to protect and help didn't want that *help* and the war was pretty much a bad idea... this seems the same.. and that's exactly what the rest of the world feared with Trump at the helm.. that he would bluster and blow and go charging in where he/they weren't wanted...  You have to ask... do the people want America's help and interference? Have they asked for it? DO they really want it? Why does America think its their place??? In the end NO ONE thanks America for it.. do those countries who America supposedly saved from Osama LIKE AMerica I am afraid they dont... and thats the stark reality

    Go to war if you want but please God this time don't drag us into it!!!

    America hates bullies. That seems to be Assad.  Trump is basically saving lives by offering Assad a chance to behave. I doubt that Assad will behave.
