I think most support a reminder to Assad that chemical weapons are not to be used. What annoys some on both sides of the aisle is that this was done without consent or even informing the houses. That has ruffled some feathers.

More, I think what people are wondering is "OK but is this going to get us into another war we can't get out of? Because I'm not OK with that".

It also goes to show how Obama handled things. As was noted a few days ago he always said "OK but what happens next?". That didn't trip up a Syria response last time as Obama had both parties on board but as Boehner said there was no way the public was going to approve at all so they backed down. In this case they launched some reminder missiles and the what next was Syria launching airplanes from the same air field later that day. How far is Trump prepared to go if Assad does it again? What next?

Well you had that answer from some this weekend with Haley talking about their only being peace if the Assad regime is removed. If those are the true thoughts they will just create an even bigger power vacuum. Well given the Russian involvement they will simply create another Afghanistan.
