Syrian children killed by Assad’s nerve gas[/caption]
UPDATE by Ralph Peters:
Leadership. That’s what we lacked for eight years. In the early hours of Friday morning in Syria — late Thursday evening here — our military, acting on the order of our commander-in-chief, avenged the slaughtered innocents in Syria and sent a clear message that we will not tolerate the use of chemical weapons. Well done!
President Trump just put an end to the Obama era of vacillation and cowardice. Trump also ignored Russia’s shameless prevarications.
Incontestably, our president became . . . presidential. He passed his first pressing foreign-policy test with dispatch and guts.
The United States is back. There are, indeed, red lines. And the enemies of humanity cross those lines at their peril.
As I write these lines, I’m unabashedly proud to be an American. Republican, Democrat or independent, you should be, too. Once again, we stood on the side of justice and humanity.
