"Are You People Freaking Insane?"
The media have a field day with photos of dead children in Syria, as the result of a chemical attack from Assad. "What will you do Mr. president?" Scream the media, with all the honesty of a school kid looking to start some shit so they can have something new to talk about.
But, there is a fly in the ointment. Because, maybe, just maybe, it was a false flag attack by the rebels, and not Assad.
In response, president Trump bombs a military airfield, thereby halting at least some of Assad's ability to gas his own people....if it was Assad that actually did it.
The next day the usual suspects in the media go crazy with accusations that Trump/Hitler is starting a war! Which means that even more babies will die. This means that Trump is killing babies, which means that Trump really is Hitler, even though no babies died.
The night of the bombing, various media outlets declare that this is proof that Trump is a Putin stooge, even though Putin is pro-Assad and the bombing was clearly anti-Assad.
Meanwhile, everybody forgets that it was Obama who set this war in motion by supporting the anti-Assad rebels, who turned into ISIS, which radically escalated the slaughter--and then stood by and did nothing in response to the endless killing.
So, here's some perspective; this isn't a new war, it's a targeted action with a select military strike against a military target in the middle of a horrific war-zone, that's been escalating for years. Hopefully, it will send a signal to Assad that gassing civilians is a bad idea, with consequences. That is not a bad thing. It isn't Hitler-like, unless you're an idiot. In fact, it was probably the right thing to do. It should also put the Putin/Trump fantasies of willfully dimwitted children to rest. But, I doubt that it will. In a nation of millions of armchair military experts, with no actual military experience and a thimble of knowledge regarding such matters, they are sure they know better.

Now grow up America! Grow the hell up!
