Well that's idiotic. We bomb Syria to "deter" North Korea?!?No law violated. That's lefty propaganda.Yes where are the Republicans now that drumpf has violated the law? Where's all the 'law and order' claptrap now.
This has a bigger picture. As much as a response to the intolerable act of using WMD, this was to send a message to North Korea, who does pose a serious threat to US national security. When N Korea launches a nuke missile strike, there won't be time to consider a response in Congress.
Deterrence is the best response.
We bomb everybody. To deter everybody!
