I answered 'NO' only because there was no 'FUCK NO!' to select
Listen we've all seen how this story plays out before. We helped the Muslims fight off the Serbs in Bosnia, we helped the Mujahedeen fight off the Soviets in Afghanistan, we (at the request of the British) stuck our noses in Iran to put the Shah back in power....every single time we attempt to help in the Middle East (bar when we help Israel.....miles & Kirkland) it has backfired on us tremendously.
If we are truly and honestly worried about someone getting their hands on WMDs then we shouldn't "pick a side" we should find the actual weapons and capture them and leave the Syrians to fight amongst themselves and when I say "we" I mean the UN because I sure as fuck don't want the US blamed anymore for the morons leading other nations.
All that said this is EXACTLY like Bosnia it is a "Wag the dog" war and will be used to hush up the media about recent controversies and scandals. There's no reason to go into Syria UNLESS we wanted to capture those weapons and that's not what we will do. We're picking a side thinking its the lesser of two evils and that is just fucking stupid because those people only have loyalty to tribe and if they are Shia/Persian or Sunni/Arab.
