We may never know why. BUT we do know that\u00a0the decision was not made to protect those \u2018beautiful little babies\u2019.\u00a0 No U.S. president in recent history has ever\u00a0placed any value on the lives of babies, children, or any other civilians.\u00a0 Remember Madeleine Albright saying that the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children were \u201cworth it\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0U.S. Policy is so devoid of any compassion that it dehumanizes those we kill and refers to them as \u201ccollateral damage\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When Trump says he did it to protect babies, we need to ask which babies. The babies starving to death in Somalia, the babies we kill with drones, the babies in Yemen, the babies who drown while escaping a war zone, the Palestinian babies, the babies who are refugees that we will not allow in our country.\u00a0\u00a0 No, President Trump does not care about the beautiful babies.\u00a0 That is not why he used Tomahawk Missiles in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>So what are the real reasons? We may never know for sure but there are some possibilities. Some may theorize that this decision is the result of Trump\u2019s ingestion of Propecia, a drug designed to prevent baldness.\u00a0This is a drug with dangerous psychological side effects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2026\u00a0side effects such as erectile dysfunction, decreased sexual drive, problems with orgasms, shrinking and painful genitals, even some neurological problems, such as depression, anxiety and mental fogginess \u2026 ABC NEWS<\/p>\n<p>Another theory is that the decision was made by Jared Kushner, and Daddy Trump did not want to displease Ivanka.\u00a0\u00a0It looks like the White House has been turned over to the Katzenjammer Kids.<\/p>\n<p>The best theory might be that Trump has been down in the polls. Waging war is a guarantee of raising his poll numbers. US citizens always support war and the Commander-in-chief. It is a never-fail strategy\u2026 works every time.<\/p>\n<p>We can only guess why the decision was made. There are many unknowns.\u00a0 No one knows for sure who used the Sarin gas.\u00a0 By whom and when was it supplied?\u00a0 In the past,\u00a0Seymour Hersh has <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.strategic-culture.org\/news\/2016\/04\/28\/seymour-hersh-hillary-approved-sending-libya-sarin-syrian-rebels.html\" >implicated<\/a> Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>So, once more Trump pulls a fast one on the citizens.\u00a0 Winning feels good.\u00a0 Trump wins.
