I don't agree with the "So it's fine to kill civilians with normal bombs?" rhetoric.
Obviously it's not okay to target civilians but the entire world has agreed that chemical and biological weapons are off limits. There's too much conflict in the world for the US to police every attack on civilians but the moment a regime uses chemical or biological weapons there needs to be swift action. You can debate the effectiveness of this strike but at least it's something.
I'm the last person on earth to support anything that Trump does but if Obama had retaliated when Assad did this last time, maybe it wouldn't have happened again....
