Theresa May is attempting to gain political strength from this from her very weak position. She even tried to look and sound like Thatcher when she was "explaining to the nation" what she was up to. The USA hates the UN and routinely either undermines it, mainly by vetoing any criticism of the Israeli regime, ignores it or refuses to pay its dues. We should not align ourselves in any way with the wild-west antics of that hubris-ridden idiot in the White House, who is similarly using this to strengthen himself at home. Giving distant Johnny Foreigners a whupping is a time-hounoured method of strengthening your hand with your own electorate. If we haven't learned from Blair and Iraq that before we start bombing foreign countries we need the solid truth about what happened and we need the consent of our country's elected representatives, well I don't know what. The argument that she put to us that what's been done is in the UK's interests is a downright lie.
