Here are 8 responses to the targeted airstrikes.

Britain will not stand by and watch Syrians being killed, without joining in

“We would like to offer our full support to the children of Syria

As such, I would like to remind you that it is Tory policy to detain you at Calais, and if you get anywhere near this country I swear to Christ we will check your fucking teeth to make you prove how old you are.” pic.twitter.com/fkN4NxLv6Q

“Mrs May what’s the plan?”
“BOMB THEM”
“Ok, then what”
“what”
“Like, should we take in some refugees as we bombed their houses?”
“NO. BREXIT MEANS BREXIT”
“so what do we do next?”
“You shut the fuck up that’s what we do next”

Without wishing to sound aggressive, if you are certain of how best to proceed in the Syria crisis, you almost certainly don’t understand the Syria crisis. It is a Gordian knot of human suffering, and no Alexandrian sword-swipe will resolve it

Dropping bombs on a country but voting against allowing refugee children fleeing the conflict to come here.
That’s got to be worse than running through a wheat field.

In this binary age, and before you embarrass yourself by waving a Syria flag in the street, it’s OK to be against the UK bombing Assad, and also to be against Assad bombing his own citizens.

And here’s what Donald Trump had to say.

A perfectly executed strike last night. Thank you to France and the United Kingdom for their wisdom and the power of their fine Military. Could not have had a better result. Mission Accomplished!

Literally can't believe Trump fired a bunch of missiles and then wrote "Mission Accomplished." What a moron.

The only person I want to hear saying "Mission Accomplished" is Robert Mueller.
