Original Note:
"If Trump had done this" misleadingly implies that the U.S. never bombed Iraq or Syria during the Trump presidency. The U.S. conducted multiple airstrikes against Iran-linked targets in Iraq and Syria from 2017 to 2020. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/18/us-iran-jet-attack-syria https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iraq-security-usa/trump-aides-call-u-s-strikes-on-iraq-and-syria-successful-warn-of-potential-further-action-idUSKBN1YX0GR/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/02/middleeast/baghdad-airport-rockets Democratic leaders mostly supported the strikes. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/14/syria-strikes-democrats-demand-congress-approval-for-further-military-action
