What is your opinion in US involvement in Syria?
I think its ok to send troops to Syria to take care of the government and all. But I absolutely do not agree on lending them weapons. We sent weapons to Al-Qiada and look what happened. I just think that the government should take extra precautions in involvement in Syria.
@Victor- Yes. I am talking about Reagan.

I think it's a lose/lose situation.
No matter what we do, we're screwed.
If we help the rebels, Syria becomes another fundamentalist regime under the thumb of muslim brotherhood, Hezbollah, Iran and Hamas.
If we don't help the rebels, Syria becomes part of the Russian sphere of influence.
The only smart thing for Obama to do is to kick the can down the road to Hiliary. Then history can record that America's last president was its first woman president.
Syria is like a pot of water on a stove with a broken knob. I don't think we can wait as long as we want before it boils over. And boil over it will. It won't be contained in Syria. We could be facing our first war in over 100 years on American soil. But modern wars are fought remotely. Bombs will be arriving here via Russian technology.
Yes, Peter, kicking the bee hive wasn't a good idea. But at this point, it's a little difficult to un-kick it.

Not sure we should send ground troops, but at least arm the rebels and pound Assad with our Navy and Air Force.

I could care less if they all blow themselves up over there. I am concerned about the chemical weapons that were moved from Iraq and are now up for grabs.

alqaida didn't use weapons in 911, civilian airplanes.

Why should the US go into other countries to decide who is leader and who isn't? It has nothing to do with the US, they should stay.
Before they start talking about DEMOCRACY, they should recognise the Venezuelan democratically elected govt, they won't because they don't like the party in power. Kind of hypocritical, don't you think?
