Syria is an outlaw nation. Any free nation had the right to invade Nazi Germany and, today, has the right to invade Syria or any other slave pen. Whether a free nation chooses to do so or not is a matter of its own self-interest, not of respect for the non-existent “rights” of gang rulers. It is not a free nation’s duty to liberate other nations at the price of self-sacrifice, but a free nation has the right to do it, when and if it so chooses. See Ayn Rand, 1964.

MORALITY / A MORAL CODE.

A moral code is a set of abstract principles; to practice it, an individual must translate it into the appropriate concretes—he must choose the particular goals and values which he is to pursue.
Why does mankind need a code of values? To grade the choices and actions available, according to the degree to which they achieve or frustrate the code’s standard of value. The standard is the end, to which man’s actions are the means. America’s moral code is the primacy of the free individual. Keeping each individual safe is President Trumps first job. When bashir al-Assad used Sarin gas he showed how dangerous he is. His danger extends to each person on earth which includes Americans. Assad is an outlaw.
Any free nation, any commander can order military action to eliminate al-Assad or to stop him from acting. Trump followed good morality and good moral law in punishing al-Assad for using Sarin gas.
The question is: where is the rest of the world? .
