So the US fired 59 missiles and only 23 of them hit something. I don't think the intention behind the attack was to cause some real damage but it was only theatre.
The Tomahawk has a range of over 1500 km. Shooting some old moldy missiles from even half that distance might be a challenge.
Look, Merkel lives in a different part of the world, where "gassing children" was done and over with in the last century. Germany is not the Middle East, where one not *adhering enough* to "Islamic faith" is in constant danger of being overtaken by radical Islam. You know what terror those living in the Isis state ( including children) are subjected to, don't you? But CNN/MSNBC doesn't have access there, of course it's easier to create narrative about the horrors of Bashar Assad regime. Not to mention that it's so much more convenient, since it serves the purpose of hurting Russian interests in the region. While fighting Daesh - not so much.
Why not in the US I wonder, since the US seem so preoccupied with gassed children?
When Germany gassed children, the world fought back viciously to remove their head of state.
I'm not sure what you're talking about in regard to the horrors if ISIS. It's safe to say that even the most oblivious of people are aware of their animalistic treatment of people caught under their control. That doesn't make Assad any less of a butcher. Frankly, if he had not stooped to using chemical weapons, he probably could have continued on his merry way liquidating his people en masse.
That way Assad can slaughter at will and more people will leave for Europe.
People go from war. The war will end and people will return home.
