"Officials from the United States and other countries have questioned the legality of the strikes."

Look, this is getting tiring. You have no idea what the people in this country went through and they might as well see it as a "good thing". I think the same applies to Iran, an intervention by the US could be the best thing that ever happened in these countries, so the "legality" issue doesn't quite sound warranted in my opinion.

Im not sure we want the president to be going around bypassing congress in regards to the military. I would prefer a congress that took back its power from the executive.

I'm not well informed on how this came to be, but to consider this with regard to US's own interests, I think it is simply a problem to be dealt with sooner than later. You definitely don't want to ignore it until it's a "real problem".

edit: I'd also add that this was also a message to the Supreme Leader -- he seems to be oblivious to the consequences of the threats for his own people and, quite frankly, counts on the percentage of people who disagree. The sheer volume of the lies that is going around is astonishing and you have to live it to know.

a chinese intervention to overthrow trump i think would also be quite welcomed, but still not the best thing to do

Ends justify the means is bad policy in any context.
