" Viewed in a 72-hour time frame, President Trump’s decision to order a missile strike against a Syrian air base looks like a measured response to an act that deserved punishment, and one that sends a useful message to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the rest of the world."
 'viewed in a 72 hour time frame"  is an awfully short sighted look at all the complexities of any and every little thing we do over in the mid east,.  also, now we've really got n korea's crazy leader agitated. who is next? china would be great to tick off. our prices will got sky high(er), plus they are the only ones that can field up to 200,000,000 foot soldiers. take one port and they can fight their way in, using the bodies of their countrymen to build protective walls to shield them...
 i believe tuesday's attack on the syrian people, god bless them, happened under Assad, but i wonder if it's a message to trump by putin, via assad. play nice donald, like we discussed earlier when we gave you the election.
