President Trump announced Friday night that the U.S. and its allies had launched attacks on Syria in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack last week by President Bashar Assad's regime.
In televised remarks from the White House, Trump said the attacks were underway, and that Great Britain and France were also taking part.
The president did not provide details, but U.S. warships in the Mediterranean Sea, armed with cruise missiles, were in position to strike. British and French forces were also in place.
[...] The president said the U.S. prepared to sustain effort until the Syrian regime stops using chemical weapons.
[...] In the days leading up to the U.S. attack, Russia had warned that it would defend its troops in Syria. This has raised fears of a possible direct clash of U.S. and Russian forces.

For background on the situation, I recommend the book American Hero [wikipedia.org] or the movie Wag the Dog [wikipedia.org].
Acting to stop Assad from using Chemical weapons on civilians can be good, but the important part is the follow-up: dropping bombs is easy (and profitable for the contractors), the hard part is improving the situation and avoiding blowback.
Last time Trump dropped some bombs to "stop chemical weapons" we spent $100 million+ to shut down an airport for a few hours.

The New Statesman raised an interesting point yesterday: the civil war in Syria is estimated to have killed at least tens of thousands of civilians, probably over a hundred thousand. Why are we willing to intervene when they're killed with chemical weapons but not when they're killed with conventional ones? I suspect most people would consider being shot and bleeding to death on the street not to be much worse than being killed with chlorine, yet apparently we're fine with the former but not the latter.

Because chemical weapons are banned by treaty that Syria accepted ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_Weapons_Convention [wikipedia.org] )
And they're an easier false flag that can trigger "International action".
The real truth is the USA has been wanting to overthrow Syria for years. They're not there to stabilize stuff. The USA helped START the war in the first place.
They funded the opposition in Syria: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-syria-wikileaks-idUSTRE73H0E720110418 [reuters.com]
And when the civil war finally started they supplied weapons to the rebels:

They want the "fire" of ISIS to burn Syria. They don't want that fire put out. That's why they never seemed to have as much success as the Russians when the Russians fought the ISIS.
The USA sponsors Muslim extremists to overthrow Syria. Assad is bad but which of the USA sponsored extremist groups will be better at ruling Syria?

The problem with having high-tech weapons is that you don;t know if they will work until you try them against an equally skilled enemy.
Countries look for, or even start limited wars just to test their latest weapons every 10 years or so.
Stopping chemical weapons is just the excuse that the US wants to test their latest weapons against the USSR in a way they (and the world) can exit from.

It seems to me that such a sentiment, in this context, is trite at best.
We're all islands when it comes to deciding to aggress outside the reach of our legitimate authority. Trump's no better than you or I in this regard; he's just got a lot more power, and lacks the wit to know how to manage it in any way even remotely compatible with the idea of a sovereign nation. He's hardly alone in this, it's a very typical presidential stance, but that doesn't make it better, it makes it worse.
The US has no authority whatsoever as to what goes on in Syria, or does not go on there. The legitimate responsibility of dealing with what goes on in Syria is entirely Syria's — that of its government and its population.
Any nation-state's legitimate authority ends at the national borders of that nation-state until/unless someone attacks them or compromises their resources (air/water, that sort of local-but-not-local thing) from outside those borders. When a nation-state makes war outside of those bounds, that nation-state is saying to everyone else, "go ahead, come in our nation-state and blow shit up. That's what we do!" To be very clear about all this, Syria has not attacked our nation.
If we want national borders to mean anything, we'd be far better off acting like they do mean something.
For example, do you want England, or Russia, or China, dropping bombs on us because our congress is operating well outside the bounds of our constitution? Or because our cops are killing people at the slightest excuse (or without any excuse)?
