Do you remember not too long ago the picture of that little boy, Alan Kurdi, washed up dead on a beach in Turkey. That picture ignited a firestorm in the media and swayed public opinion in favor of allowing refugees into Europe. One picture did that.

There were plenty of other dead children washing up on beaches before that. There were plenty of other pictures like that one circling the internet before that one. But there was something about that picture, the way it was taken and maybe the fact that the boy was face down, faceless, and could have been any little boy which made people take notice of it.

Pictures of dead people are not good reasons to act.


Adding onto this since it was brought up, I believe it was noted that the photos of Alan were staged in the way that they deliberately moved his dead body for "better photos." Those photos alone caused a mess in Europe, I mean Greece of all places was already struggling for their own people now they're just getting abused trying to take care of their own and the refugees.

The point is, no thing good will come of this. America is not the police of the the world. Let them kill themselves. All this will do is create more extremists.

Rabbi_NASA wrote Assad violated international law and threatens Americas security. This action also sends a message to other foreign powers such as North Korea.


I hope you realize that these strikes violated International Law. Against a fellow UN member state as well.

Also, Trump just threatened our security even more by doing this. I feel less safe now then two days ago.

We made the laws, we enforce the laws. You can't enforce the laws against the enforcer.

"Less than 24 hours after the strikes, Syrian planes were taking off from the very same airfield...."

Looks like Trump just wasted $90M on bombing an empty airfield that did no damage.

Love where my taxes go.

According to the Russian military only 23 out of the 59 missiles hit the Syrian base/airfield, so that's a thing if true.

Sean wrote Russia warns of negative consequences if US targets Syria, Hours later Trump attacks Syria.

Russias deputy United Nations envoy, Vladimir Safronkov, warned on Thursday (April 7) of negative consequences if the United States carries out military strikes on Syria over a deadly toxic gas attack.


Russia isn't going to do shit to us. No one is. Chemical warfare is banned worldwide. Someone needed to do something. I'm glad the decision was made.
