I for one am happy that we took sides against the Nazis in WWII.
I'm not saying that we should go into Syria, but I don't think that we can just make a blanket statement that we never take sides.
However any of us feel about this, I think that we will soon see American troops, leading UN forces, on the ground over there. I really don't see how the rest of the world can continue to sit back and do nothing about this.

Problem is that WE HAVE TAKEN SIDES....
"A deal reached in Congress to allow the United States to ship arms to Syrian rebels could spur more support from other nations, blunting the military gains of dictator Bashar Assad and preventing him from crushing the rebel movement.
Syrian rebels say the decision by U.S. lawmakers to go along with President Obama's plan announced weeks ago to arm their factions will give them an edge."
Deal done for U.S. to ship arms to Syria rebels
This is from a month ago, and we can see the reaction thus far....poison gas.
And yes, we had drawn a line and more to come....those who want to stay out of it.....I do also, but how does anything we say from here on in mean anything. THOUSANDS BEING KILLED over such a long period of time.
