Pretty ridiculous. As I see it, why are we always the ones stepping in? This is pretty close to political discussion, but for Syria there are already other countries ready to step in. We should leave it alone, but we just refuse.

With Syria, we lose no matter which side we choose. I don't really want us doing anything in that region.
