Your solution is not going to happen. And I am in no way implying Trump shouldn't be criticized, but what would an acceptable response be?

Do you have any idea?

Trying to understand what he is doing is important. Working toward competent leadership is important.

I agree that working towards competent leadership is important. But decisions are going to be made immediately that can have tremendous impacts.

Is that not worth discussing?

"But decisions are going to be made immediately that can have tremendous impacts."

Not sure how you "have no idea what that means" when you follow it up with that sentence. I don't see how the make the connection more clear.

As a general rule on any given subject if one is going to criticize an action or lack of action having some plan to put forth as a solution no matter how rudimentary it might be is helpful.

Between the two of you, I'm actually bearing witness to the Irresistible Force Paradox. It thoroughly reminds me of the classic Jerry Lewis/Victoria Jackson skit.

you require options and solutions when we don't even know what all the options are.

Trump's lack of knowledge, lack of critical thinking, lack of focus in security briefings, lack of attention, lack of an ability to read reports, review history....makes it almost implausible that he could even make a correct decision on purpose....he may rarely a correct decision by accident, but I have yet to see that happen, so it's infrequency is unlikely to play well in this Syrian scenario. We can therefore presume that to crticize Trump, without coming up with an alternative plan is actually a valid and acceptable response.

Did I miss it? Do you know?

She supported creating a no fly zone over parts of Syria. Her detractors (left and right) said it would cause WW3.

were told they had no right to complain unless they had a solution to offer, William Sloane Coffin suggested:
