The Attack Against Syria

I must raise a question concerning the attack against Syria. I do so for the reason that once one allows for a nation's borders to be transgressed with missiles---even if it be a worthy cause, i.e. the gassing of one's own people (and whether the perpetrator is Assad or ISIS is, I think, a debatable point)---then a sovereign threshold has been crossed. It doesn't seem to be far-fetched then to wonder if another country, say Russia would then be justified in sending missiles our way in that, while we don't gas our children, we do poison them in the womb? Perhaps at one time we had the moral high ground; but now with our rampant relativism and our celebration of so much that is counter to Christ, I believe we have lost such a moral authority. It might be that we need to take a look first at the plank in our own eye. Just something to think about.
