I'm not sure why we should actually be opposed to Trump's action. It was measured, tactical, and likely to impede further nefarious operations - at least using that airbase. What am I missing?
I read this from a friend's post. Not sure the source or the accuracy. If accurate (and it seems to fit the picture) Sarin gas is really a weapon of pure evil:
"I'm an anesthesiologist who uses a Sarin-type medicine daily. I want to stress here how miserably awful Sarin poisoning really is. Sarin is a kind of drug called an anticholinesterase. It stops the enzyme that breaks down a nerve-signaling molecule (acetylcholine) from working, so nerves keep firing all over the body.

If Sarin kills you, and it won't always, it does so by asphyxiation.
