Bombing Syria, why?

The USA sent 103 cruise missiles into Syria claiming Syria used chemicals against the population. There was no evidence of “who” actually did the chemicals but only suspected. Send in the missiles to teach them a lesson. 

The USA makes it sound as if they has never used chemicals in war time or in suppressing other nations. Let us look back at the military actions in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. This took place in the 1960 - for 10 years or more. What was used? The USA military sprayed 75,700,000 liters of various chemicals, what chemicals were?  Herbicides, defoliants and napalm destroying 4.5 million acres of farmland, rivers and hills. These chemicals contains a by-product called dioxins which causes cancers and various birth defects, who was affected? Millions of the people eating and living in the area and thousands of children are born with terrible birth defects. 

Agent Orange was very popular for removing the leaves of trees so they could bomb the enemy.  Canada tested Agent Orange in Newfoundland, on whom? They tested it on our own soldiers in the field, can you believe that? Why do nations ever invent and manufacture such poisons?

Please don’t condemn others if you have a poor history of events that you are not too proud of.
