But what about democracy and civil rights? [And the question is sarcastic in case anyone missed it - this does not appear to be an option in the ME].

"But what about democracy and civil rights?"
I know you're being facetious and I would agree that would be great, but I don't see any Jeffersons, Madisons or Washingtons to step into the breach and set up a liberal democracy in Syria. We can't solve the worlds problems. I think America's world role is more akin to Britain in the 19th century. Look out after her own self interests and be the beacon of Democracy and freedom. Spread the gospel of self government. When countries are ready for it, we can assist them.
