 Still against Intervention in Syria
The U.S. has no vital national interest in joining its civil war.
By Andrew C. McCarthy — April 7, 2017

When it came to foreign policy, I was worried that the 2016 election would be a case of Clinton delivering the third Obama term. Instead, we have Trump giving us the third Clinton term.

President Donald Trump has now done what candidate Donald Trump committed not to do: He has launched a military strike against a foreign regime — a repulsive one, to be sure — in the absence of any threat, much less any attack, against the United States, in furtherance of no vital American interests.

Trump’s act of war is in violation of the Constitution, which requires congressional authorization for such an offensive use of military force, provoked by no aggression against our nation. Or, as someone once said:.

McCarthy makes good points. Regime change has had a pretty dismal track record.

But, are we willing to wink at the use of poison gas?
