-you made your point-the head-smacks don't add to your argument. We can't change the past, we would like the future to be different. The problem is the difference we are going to see may be so much worse than what we are accustomed to now. If you think Obama has abused his power, which is a power I believe he respects, how much worse will Trump abuse the same power, a power he neither truly understands nor remotely respects?

I never gave my opinion of these latest airstrikes. I thought the article was worth posting because it reports the probable last military action the U.S. will conduct under President Obama.

I'm sure you don't support Trump in any way.

Here's to the hope and the remote possibility that he will pleasantly surprise us!
