The use of chemical weapons must not be normalized. I believe he saw those pictures of those kids and it affected him. The same part of him that saved that old lady's mortgage back in 1986. A part of him that rarely comes out, yet is the only redeeming part of him, that we'll need to lean on, badly over the next four to eight years. Good job Trump.
Let's not pretend that chemical weapons are the main reasons. Everyone under Reagan were busy supporting Saddam when he used chemical weapons on Iran & there were no widespread protests. As long it is the Iranians getting sprayed with gas, who cares right? And Killings seriously - No1 cared about a democratic peaceful Mossadegh being killed because he wanted to nationalize Iran's oil or about a democratic peaceful Salvador Allende being killed in Chile only because he was a socialist (& a democratic one).
The neocons & the Military industry complex never care about these things - They need 1 new war to fight !
And the other party, Al Qaeda & ISIS, one of which cuts people's heads off, has sex slaves & the other flew planes into Twin towers & both have also used chemical weapons. Canada & Germany have denied to blame Assad till the investigation is completed. Russia has suspended Air Safety deal, anytime a plane could get shot ! Warmongers seriously !
The neocons & the Military industrial complex are obviously still terrible, now more than ever with such a militaristic president in charge. But we shouldn't have supported Saddam using lethal chemical weapons either.
Given that Russia was warned & evacuated everything beforehand, this "strike" was just for show and suspending the Air deal is unnecessary aggression on their part.
And lol @ comparing nonlethal pepper spray with literally gassing kids.
Lethal chemical weapons should not be tolerated anywhere. What we need domestically is some gun control, but that's virtually a lost cause...
