President Trump announced airstrikes against Syria today,
a reprisal for an attack last week that killed at least 43 civilians and injured hundreds more.
The decision to strike was aimed at cutting off the production and use of chemical weapons in the country, President Donald Trump said at the White House on Friday night.
The Economist headline from two weeks ago,
Why Donald Trump is unlikely to start a catastrophic conflict, is not greatly reassuring, but we'll take it.
it is still hard to imagine Mr Trump starting a war unless he thought he would gain from it personally, and he would not gain from a bloodbath.
Faint praise.
