sovereign country is an act of war. You have a limited view of war, you also don't own the iraq war by yourself so you can hold down the indignation. You are completely wrong about how Iraq 10 years ago and Syria now don't compare. It was all about a pretense in Iraq regarding chemical weapons and we have the same theater now. By the way, we had assurances and credible proof that the iraq WMD program was ground to dust and we still went to war. We are not there yet but we are moving down the same road and I hope we never get there.
You can't understand this but when you send a missile into another country and kill innocent people, those people and their relatives tend to think war is being waged upon them. It isn't all about what you endured in Iraq, it is about what Iraq endured as well, can you dig it? just like Syria now.
