Americans as a rule don't really care about collateral damage, no matter how man....

Putting aside the need to do this, and yes it needed done, how did Trump get permission to do this? Launching cruise missiles is an act of war. Did congress declare war on Syria? Did congress okay the use of these for Trump? I am not disputing the need for this, but what about the precedent it is setting. Allowing a president unilateral power to act with military force is absolutely not okay.

Elections have consequences.

The President has the power to act in this way.

I don't think so. I don't know for sure. I thought the president could only use military force in the event of imminent attack on the US. Otherwise it required the approval of congress. I know it got muddied when Bush wanted to attack Iraq, but I didn't think it was change.
