Syria is not our problem.

This isn’t going to end well; war rarely does.

I understand the Syrian government is horrible, and it makes me sick to think it’s gassing its own people including children.

However, as others have said, the devil you know sometimes is better than the devil you don’t, and the bottom line is we have no clue who the rebels are although some of them clearly are the terrorists who are our enemies.

Frankly, I would not put it past the so-called rebels to have done the gassing in the hopes of bringing U.S. military might to their aid against the government.

Finally, at the end of the day, regardless of how horrible events are over there, what is the national security interest of the United States to intervening in this tragic civil war where neither side has much of a moral claim to power?
