I am OK with it as they were used to protect American forces, but yes overall we should not be in the middle of many of these Civil Wars. Trump knows that. Not worth the lives of our soldiers and taxpayer dollars.
The article was an OPINION piece, not CNN's version of their Leftist biased "news", but still they did publish it.

If our forces were home and protecting our borders like the Constitution says this wouldn't be a problem.
But the war mongers will continue to vote in Presidents who are war mongers like Clinton, like Bush, like Obama, like Trump.
To all of those who voted for the above thank you, thank you, thank you for making my life more dangerous than it should be.
I don’t blame Trump. After all, he knows nothing about defense or foreign affairs. They suggest the crap to him and he doesn’t bother to think it out just like his predecessors didn’t. It’s easier to just go along with it.
As Americans, we oughta be ashamed that we’ve become comfortable dropping bombs on other nations so insouciantly that we don’t even look away from our TVs to consider the consequences on the lives of other people. Just as long as we don’t feel the effects of the attacks, we don’t care. And we don’t care because we don’t consider the lives of people in other nations to be as precious as our own.
Again...cowardly. We’d better consider that the day will come when we’ll have to answer for this type of nihilistic behavior. We won’t always be able to push people around, and the bullied won’t forget about the bully either. A bill will come due. Count on it.
I can believe CNN approves of this. In this instance Trump is behaving like a neocon. The main reason they hate Trump is he is not neocon/neolib enough for them. They want war against Iran, Syria/Assad and ultimately Russia.
There is nothing sensible about the aggressive, offensive bombing of another country. Given the hatred and resulting blowback such militaristic strategies cultivate, if anything, its idiocy.
You have to wonder if the writer of such drivel is getting a stipend from the pentagon to frame it as such?
I am okay with air strikes as long as they are based on good intelligence and don't involve civilians.
I was never happy with the double tap policy, whereby drones would fire again in to rescuers.
However in terms of Kata'ib Hezbollah, which has once again been attacking US Forces, they reaped what they sowed.
Kata'ib Hezbollah is an Iraqi Shia paramilitary group that is supported by Iran and has fought against US Forces during the Iraq War and has continued doing Iran's bidding for a number of years.
It's perfectly sensible to strik enemy forces in order to stop attacks on your own forces and to save the lives of your countrymen and allies.
Although the wider discussion in relation to the vast influx of US Forces in the region is a matter for a different debate.
