DURING the latest punitive strikes against Syria, Donald Trump asked Russia and Iran the question: “What sort of country wants to be associated with the mass murder of innocent men, women and children?”

The nations of the world can be judged by the friends they keep. No nation can succeed in the long run by promoting rogue states, brutal tyrants, and murderous dictators.

Could he not ask the USA and the UK the very same question?
