Good God people. Can we PLEASE stick with the facts when discussing these issues? These hyperbolic, over the top LIES are part of the problem in American political discourse.
To add another layer of complexity to the subject, I'm now reading that some believe all of this is over oil... another war over oil? Hmmmm.
ME has always been about Oil, for the most part. Drain their oil, keep our reserves high. Countries have been fighting and controlling places forever for resources.
Tr(ch)ump is unstable. Easily provoked into starting a war. But I guess the war profiteers are happy.
But, he hasn't started or declared war on Syria as the OP has implied. Where on earth do you people get your ideas from?

No, just panties in a wad over Hillary losing. Their time would be better spent researching before posting.

I was surprised that anyone considered this a proclamation of war, but then again, schools aren't doing a very good job of educating anymore.

No, it is not. Don't they teach American history and American government in high school anymore?

Yes, which makes me question the motivations behind this airstrike. Was it really about Assad and his cache of chemical weapons? Or about the innocent civilians that were gassed?
Or was this an opportunistic move to fatten bank accounts and wallets?

lol look at the neocons on the left defending hated trump.good to see you can pull it together and sing kumabaya when the chips are down.
Still waiting for proof that Assad even did anything. Could have been the Russians. Could have been an accident by the rebels (or on purpose to draw us in). I have read reports that say the rebels have access to gas.
US intel has radar tracking of planes leaving that specific base, circling over the area that was hit with chemicals at the same time the attack occurred, and returning to that base. I feel confident that it was a Syrian hit. If it was Russian planes then Syria just learned that there's a huge price to pay for allowing Russia use of their airfields.
