What would you do in Syria

Now, would they support further military action? Hard to say, but it's fairly obvious that the rest of the world is of the mindset that something needs to be done.

Bels, our press reports "support." China and Brazil, among others, have condemned the attack. India and other countries hoping for trade/aid deals have been silent. Support from France, Germany and Italy turns out to be statements affirming they "understand" why the US acted and that Assad caused the attacks. Full throated applause from the world is not what I am hearing.

Certainly much of the world hopes something will be done--a hopeful sign for comprehensive UN sanctioned action.

Keep in mind that this is Trump, and precedent suggests he will undo this moment hopeful media are celebrating, just as he did his Congressional address.
