Only one simple question - has Trumps actions made the prospects for peace and reconciliation across the Middle East and with the world outside the Middle East better or worse.
Short term he has unquestionably inflamed tensions, and made the probability of a terrorist response muh more likely.
They can't do 9-11 again because the two towers have gone - but there are plenty of other high profile targets in either the US or Europe. Or it may be a longer response with multiple shootings and bombings around the world. It may even be direct assasination attempts on US and other political and military leaders - this could be a blessing in disguise!
It may just be that Trump had intelligence (not his but from the intelligence community) which prompted swift action. But the man is an egotistical idiot - he woke up, saw something on his favourite news channel, and ordered his troops in.
Trump is a lot like Homer Simpson - actually this comparison would be to deny Homer the respect he deserves for idiotic but consistent stupidity. Trump repeatedly dreams up something new or different to do or tweet.
