I would stay out of the Syrian onflict for the following reason.

All the groups involved are hostile to the United States.
On one side is Syria ,Iran and Russia. On the other side is Al Qaeda, Saudia Arabia ,the Muslim Brotherhood etc.
If there is a winner in this, the winner will still be hostile to us. I say stay out of it.

Our real concern is that if the conflict spreads the price of oil would go up. I don't buy into the loss of Muslim life on either side is a big concern to Americans.

I say stay the course using "Crocodile Tears." - Tom

We are Helping to arm the enemy in Syria by Funneling The arms From Kadafis Arsenal in Libya to Syria by way of Turkey. That is What Ambassador Stevens was Helping with in Benghazi

First off, there’s always American taxpayer money involved in these little forays, so it’s not like there’s no cost. Second, I wouldn’t want this current administration involved in any more foreign policy. I wouldn’t let them run a cupcake sale. They’d wind up with deadly cupcakes.

Commentary has a track record of trying to draw America into middle eastern wars. I would like to know why.

The opposition is dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood and working with the spawn of Al Qaeda. Aiding them is aiding and abetting Al Qaeda in time of war. Not committing treason in the name of the lunatic ideology that giving Muslims the vote will make them like us is perfectly rational.
Boot needs to read his Jeane Kirkpatrick and stop acting like a paleoconsrvaitve parody of neoJacobins.
