Well, I think it could be good or it could be bad! How's that for an answer, lol!
I'm not knowledgeable enough to have a strong opinion on if it's right or if it's wrong, but based on what I've heard from various people, I do have a couple thoughts on it. One, is that all of the people who have been whining for Trump to "do something" about Syria, should be happy that he did something. Instead, they are whining that we are hypocrites if we won't accept refugees, but will bomb them. To me, that is false logic. It makes much more sense to try to help them to be able to stay in their own country, rather than flood our country with foreigners, many of whom don't want to be here and clash with our culture and American values. So, I think they have no place to complain, but should be praising Trump for doing something, which is what they've been asking for.
I also have heard that many of our allies agree with the decision and say that something needed to be done, for what that's worth. That helped to give me some perspective on it. I heard that they were supposed to have gotten rid of all their chemical warfare and Russia was supposed to have been watching them, but apparently they lied? I do think this shows America has some guts again and won't be playing games. I can't decide if we're bullies who should mind our own business, or if we should be intervening to prevent this evil from spreading, but I lean a little toward the latter.
I do worry about the tensions, though. I don't want more war. I think I will have to see how things move forward, before I can say if I think it's good or bad, but for now I am just trusting the President I voted for and his advisors.
