Even before a US drone strike took out Qassem Soleimani, Obama administration alums and their fans were slamming President Trump for daring to stand up to Iran.
The mobbing of the US Embassy in Baghdad, they said, was proof he’s “miscalculating.” In USA Today, Iran-nuke-deal negotiator Wendy Sherman insisted “Trump walked into Iran’s trap” by not ignoring the killing of one American and wounding of several US soldiers in a rocket attack on an Iraqi army by the Iranian-backed militia Kataib Hezbollah.
That’s right: Iran’s pawns had attacked an Iraqi base. Rest assured that most Iraqis aren’t in the least upset that the drone strike took out the head of Kataib Hezbollah, for all the noise about how Washington violated Iraq’s sovereignty by striking on its soil.
That also applies to Trump’s initial response to that first Kataib Hezbollah attack: more-conventional airstrikes on five of its bases in Iraq and Syria, which killed a couple dozen of its fighters.

...
And when Soleimani flew into Baghdad to organize plans to kill more Americans, Trump ordered him taken out — finally refusing to hold off, as his predecessors had, from striking at this terrorist-in-chief simply because he’s a commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
No immunity for terrorists, period. That’s a far better alternative to Obama-era appeasement.
