This is nothing more than inflammatory propaganda with the intent pulling us back into war. I feel for the Syrian people, but it's time Americans tend our own affairs and protect our people, especially our military. We don't to expose our servicemembers to this to fight in some other country's civil war. The propaganda machine have been pulling at our heart strings for well over a decade. It time we stop falling for it and so no for a change.

We go to war in other countries to keep it from coming here. I can't say if it was ISIS or even launched off one of our own battle ships to start WWIII!?... But I bet you would have a different view if this hit your city. Just saying. Why should our life be worth more then anyone else's.
pretty sure that's not taught in Sunday school. Just my opinion though.

You do hit the nail on the head from several directions. Your heart is definitely in the right place. Were we to be the world's policeman, then yes, American involvement would be required despite any futility. And yes, spill over does occur and so we do run the risk of activity in Syria spilling over into areas where we don't wish that to occur. Russia's involvement is financial; Syria is to them, what Israel is to us; a customer. Russia is "coming in" on the side of the purchase order. Dead supporters of Assad can't pay for new Migs and tanks. And you notice when you watch Russian "actions" that it straddles a carefully chosen line. Its neither strategic or tactical. The "war" will not be won because Russia was there, nor will it be lost because they were there.
All lives are indeed precious. Children even more so. Sadly tho, that's not taught in Islam. So any American presence would only post-pone what is already going on. Were Israel to saddle up and cross the Golan and head for Damascus, every Syrian would drop their Koran, pick up a rifle and unite in the effort to repel the Israeli invader. Once Israel is repelled, they would go right back to fighting/killing each other. Its a sad dynamic but once a Mullah declares that you "need a killin'" no one is going to apply the brakes until the body bags come out. That aspect of Islam is both a good thing and a bad thing. Islam leaves you in no doubt as to what its goal is.

As sickening as this is and as mad as I am that this is going on in the world...I have to disagree that this is our war. We simply cannot afford to engage in a war where we have no strategic interest. I don't think that what is going on in Syria is worth one American servicemans life. This war is a Civil War and that nothing we do will help to end it. It is a religious war with Shiites and Sunnis and there is nothing that we as Big Brother America can do to stop it. Weapons, advisors, money, equipment etc...nothing can stop what they are doing.
Will it happen here? Possibly. But America fighting that war won't stop that. Terrorists are terrorists and if they have an agenda they will stop at nothing to complete it.

"It may not be our war but this is why we should be fighting it." That sentence should give you a slight pause, at least. If the death of civilians, women/children etc. are the criteria to engage, we would be in a lot of gun fights. Who is going to fight all of these wars?
Syria has been a Soviet/Russian ally for decades, Assad and his father before him. While I find Assad despicable and the Russians brutal, the time to act has long since passed. There was a time where engagement might have changed the course of events there in Syria. What we need to hope for now is a final resolution to the civil war and some semblance of peace there.
How many Americans should die in Syria fighting the Russian and Syrian Army? That is who we would be fighting in very short order. Their civil war came out of the "Arab spring" which the previous administration embraced as a force for change in the Arab world. It was a disaster for Syria, Egypt, Yemen and others. It was a muslim brotherhood supported effort that has yielded a harvest of death and destruction in the region.
While the videos are horrific and the barbarism is impossible to understand it is not really our fight. The best possible outcome, at this point, is for Assad and the Russians to win, stabilize the country and try to rebuild it. Supporting an on going civil war in a nation ravaged by it make little sense to me now.
