Ann Coulter names “humanitarian reasons” as the villain:
I refer to touchy-feely freaks as do-gooders, priests, saviors, and every nasty description I can think up. I can add Humanitarian Freaks to my repertoire because they all have two things in common.
1. They rush around the world spilling blood in order to save mankind.
2. The blood they spill is never their own.
Humanitarian freaks pressured President Trump into “doing something” about Syria’s Assad. Obama/Clinton/Kerry made it impossible for Trump to get out from under Syria, but he has nobody but himself to blame for letting Putin and Xi Jinping make a monkey out of him at the United Nations. Those two enemies are guided by a concept Trump and Tillison cannot grasp —— Never overthrow a friendly dictator. T. J. understood it more than two centuries ago:
The worst thing about today’s humanitarian freaks is that they imbedded forced behavior in foreign policy. It was not enough telling Americans how to behave, the freaks will never rest until they tell foreign governments and peoples how to behave. If Trump & Company want to make America great again they should look to the people who made America great in the first place instead of looking to humanitarian freaks:
“It's very hard to explain the Syrian attack, it's certainly not a vital national security interest, we generally don't at least conservatives don't go rushing around the world for humanitarian reasons. For that region of the world, Assad is one of the better leaders, there are probably only one or two better than him.”

I sincerely join... in abjuring all political connection with every foreign power; and though I cordially wish well to the progress of liberty in all nations, and would forever give it the weight of our countenance, yet they are not to be touched without contamination from their other bad principles. Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto. Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Lomax, 1799
The first object of my heart is my country. In that is embarked my family, my fortune and my own existence. I have not one farthing of interest nor one fibre of attachment out of it, nor a single motive of preference of any one nation to another but in proportion as they are more or less friendly to us. Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1799
Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations--entangling alliances with none, I deem [one of] the essential principles of our government, and consequently [one of] those which ought to shape its administration. Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural Address, 1801.
