I've Been Thinking:

United States helicopters struck Syria yesterday.
National Syrian TV and radio reported that 8 civilians were killed in the village during the US air raid.
The United States has confirmed that they struck an operations network inside Syria.

It seems that the US helicopters actually landed and special ops units engaged and neutralized a command and control structure in Syria that was launching terrorists over the Syrian border into Iraq in order to kill US troops and create unrest among locals by attacking local targets.

Syria has been sitting on its hands for too long so, the US had to take matters into their own hands. That is the way it is done in that part of the world.
Syria condemned the raid, but there is nothing they can do about it.
Syria has been so inactive and so apathetic about that border that they were practically begging the US to respond against the terrorists.

The kicker is that international law permits these strikes for these very reasons.
Terrorists were being launched and the host country did nothing to stop them.
