Certainly, President Trump was right to strike Syria with two major cruise missile attacks after the regime used chemical weapons. However, replacing Assad would require a major Iraq-style war and inflict deep suffering on a people who have already been devastated by eight years of bloody conflict. Furthermore, anti-Assad forces have proved incapable of achieving lasting military victory and some are worse than Assad, including Al Qaeda elements. Quotes-end.png
