would the opportunity be gone if Trump had follow the constitutional and international law?
the honest answer is no.
As it is now Trump has clearly and publicly broken U.S. laws as well as international.
While 'friend and foe' still have no solid proof that Assad is guilty of the "chemical" Attack. Or even have solid details about the attack at all.
I know folks like yourself don't question U.S. military actions EVER. And think the U.S. military can do no wrong and every attack made by them is always justified somehow. But many people around the world are more objective.
I know folks like yourself can't imagine that Trump could have made a mistake or might be wrong, and won't allow the question to be seriously considered. I mean it's AMERICA right, and Trump's a mainly man. But some folks in the U.S. and elsewhere are more objective.

they say they were chemical facilities. I guess i should just take the gov'ts word for it. the gov't never lies.
And as far as it being a "BAD THING". um, personally I'm not the 1st one to appeal to the law before saying a good deed should get done. But when it comes to shooting missiles in other peoples countries. I tend to think that international law should be followed BEFORE that happens. and call me crazy but i tend to think that Presidents of the U.S. should follow the LAW of our country 1st and foremost. Trump told Obama to follow it before he struck Syria, and in that case Obama DID follow it. (not elsewhere but that's another story) Trump has gone back on his word, and turned his back on the constitution in this case.
Is it a BAD THING to point that out?
or is blind loyalty for Trump and support for any military action the only thing that should be expressed no matter what?

Please, explain it to me.
Why can't you fathom that I'm not a "lefty"? Why can't you think beyond a simply left/right box and look at each issue based on it's own considerations of morals, law and objective reality.
Please, explain it to me.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
