Victims of President Bashir al-Assad's 2013 chemical weapons attack and refugees who fled their homes in an attempt to survive are praising President Trump for ordering airstrikes on a Syrian airbase last night. Nearly 60 Tomahawk missiles were launched from two U.S. destroyers in the Mediterranean Sea in response to Assad's chemical attack earlier this week, which left hundreds dead.

As a Syrian refugee, I never imagined that I'd say this: Thanks @realDonaldTrump for bombing the regime who displaced me, please do more.

Putin and Bashar al Asad bombed my school, killed my friends & robbed my childhood. It's time to punish the killers of children in Syria.

President Trump has also been praised and supported by leaders around the world for launching the strikes. Back home, Republicans and Democrats are backing his move.I am a Syrian child who suffered under Bashar al Asad & Putin. I welcome Donald Trump action against the killers of my people.
