1. That's like a rapist saying "I raped her and she seemed to enjoy it afterwards". The problem is whether they enjoyed it or not, but that they were not asked first.

2. If they had proof, they did not show it. There was no need to strike suddenly and without warning. They should have got the consensus from the UN first before taking action. It seems like the US expects everyone to abide by international law but themselves. Trump had no authority under international law to attack Syria.
