Choices in Syria and the World

After the Syrian gas attack, President Trump had a choice: do nothing or do something.
It's a choice all presidents face, because sooner or later they will be tested---usually sooner, and not just once but many times and in many ways in many places.
When faced with similar circumstances in Syria, Obama declared the existence of a red line and then ignored it. This is one of the worst response/nonresponses possible. It indicates indecision and lack of resolve, a president who talks tough but his threats means nothing and can be safely ignored.
