The people praising this action--can any of them explain how it relates to articulated long-term policy goals?
If you can step outside media framing of this incident, I would like to hear your evaluation.
At best, the missle strike discourages Assad from killing civilians with chemical weapons. But, apparently killing them the old fashioned way as God intended is still on the table. So back to business as usual. (Including the airfield we "destroyed.) Definitely deserving of a standing ovation.
