Nothing is OK adam but chem weapons are viewed as war crimes by the Worlds leaders in general. There is no good way to die but that way is a horrid way. You found that didn't bother you at all after seeing the video? Small children gasping for air with their eyes rolling back in their heads wasn't distasteful? Jesus.

I don't think it is worse than entombing families alive in the stone rubble of their apartment buildings, no. Or torturing anyone accused by a neighbor of rebellious thoughts for years on end.

Here's a good read on why I don't see recent events as escalation, rather more of the same:

The one certainty is you cannot believe what the media is saying about the attack or the reported response by Russia. Nothing more than misleading interpretations of the events as usual, thinking if the USA informed Russia of the imminent attack so they could clear out was a round about way of Russia going along with bombing.

Trump finally met up with the real guys running the world and even he dances to their tunes

I cannot ever remember the media spreading so much hate against as president as they did to Donald Trump, even in Canada people who watched and believed the CBC were so upset Trump won they were crying in the streets....that is how much power the media has on people. The media seems to be for Donald Trumps bombing in syria, how gullible people are. The have to get control of the internet so everyone one quits questioning the crap the media is spewing. The good news is Russia knows we are being lied to by the media and takes that into account. It is good Trump gave warning of his attack. If there was no oil there i doubt there would be any conflict at all.

Yes I understand that , but I also remember that you were strongly suggesting JT over Harper last election .
How is that working out ?
While I understand that all politicians have there faults , to simply lump them all together is simply ludicrous.
Fact is some , are much better than others ...
Just like in all other professions.
While it is remarkably easy to criticize all leaders , I would not say their job is easy .....

Soooooooo..............Now that that airfield is up and running again does Trump hit it again? The Ruskies have a destroyer steaming full speed towards the American ships that launched the attack near Cyprus. It is loaded with cruise missile's as well. What does that mean?

put it this way, if Harper had stepped down and a new leader took over then my vote would have gone that way. I did not vote for JT as I thought he was the best thing since sliced bread and I know NDP would never get my vote.

Ken, something is fishy here. With the weapons at the Americans disposal I find it questionable how could they have not levelled that airfield.

Those aircraft bunkers are pretty well fortified. I think the only thing that is strong enough to destroy those would be a JDAM. JDAM's are only transported to the target by planes. I saw an interview on FOX from an American general that said Trump wanted to use cruise missiles so that American pilots would be safe from any anti aircraft fire or hostile planes. I think those cruise missiles targeted the planes more than the bunkers. They said they didn't target the runways because they are easily repaired in a matter of hours. Fuel storage, munitions, planes and infrastructure were the sole targets from what I heard.
