Trump�s missile strike signals end of Assad

Re: �After six years of slaughter and failure to act, Trump lets fly his Tomahawks out of the blue,� by Terry Glavin, April 7.

Although I thought that Syrian crisis can be resolved by bringing all sides together, it is now clear that Syria�s brutal dictator Bashar al-Assad had no interest in political solution and with Russian military support, he hoped to exterminate his opponents. He must have been emboldened by hands-off attitude of U.S. President Donald Trump to renew his chemical attacks on civilian population.

Now, enraged by his wanton barbarity, President Trump has ordered U.S. missile strikes on Assad�s airfield used for chemical attacks. This clearly signals the end of America�s indifference and the beginning of Assad�s collapse. His Russian and Iranian friends can only go so far. However, Trump must keep up his military pressure. Like all brutal dictators before him, Assad will bring his own downfall.

"Canada�s government has announced that someone will be held accountable for something in Syria in some way"

Those who agree the United States unilaterally determining guilt and acting to punish is to be applauded, STOP HERE.
