Original editorial or commentary No.2: Syria - Again?

On 4/13/18, Trump delivered a speech on why the U.S. attacked Syria.

President Trump expresses his reasons on "precision strikes": "The purpose of our actions tonight is to establish a strong deterrent against the production, spread, and use of chemical weapons. Establishing this deterrent is a vital national security interest of the United States. The combined American, British, and French response to these atrocities will integrate all instruments of our national power -- military, economic, and diplomatic. We are prepared to sustain this response until the Syrian regime stops its use of prohibited chemical agents."

Syria is a “hot” place where the United States has about 2,000 troops fighting the Islamic State. Early this April, President Trump promises that our men and women will be out of Syria and be home very soon and that let other nations take care of Syria's issues. However, the Assad regime attacks a rebel group with poison gas, which killed and sickened many civilians. Facing the heat of world concerns about the use of chemical weapons against civilians, President Trump suddenly changes his mind about the U.S involvement, declaring to respond “forcefully” in Syria. The U.S. begins an air campaign with Britain and France. President Trump goes back and forth between the hope to lessen the U.S involvement in long, costly wars and the belief that the U.S should always get involved in worlds' issues. Looking back in 2013, when President Obama was pressed to take action in response to Assad’s use of chemical weapons, he tweeted, “Stay out of Syria.” Shortly after President Trump takes office, the regime purportedly uses the same type of attack again, and President Trump orders a missile strike for "a strong deterrent against the production, spread, and use of chemical weapons." Why does President Trump learn from his previous peer's failed lessons? The U.S will probably experience other failed "military operations" like those in the past such as Vietnam, Korea, or Iraq. Apparently, it is not a good move for the U.S. to join a war, which never finishes quickly, successfully and more often bring high casualty level.
