"Syria's ambassador just said that they want no part of this war, and that their country is available as safe haven for any Americans who need to leave Lebanon."

Anyone who believes Syria is doing this for humanitarian reasons has a screw loose.Syria wants human shields in case the fighting is brought to their doorstep.

"Why?

Because the U.S. Army is on the ground on Syria's and Iran's borders..."

I don't think humanitarian reasons were inferred. More like "fear".

"Anyone who believes Syria is doing this for humanitarian reasons..."

Syria's motivation is fear.

The world has two prime motivators: fear and greed. Everything else factors in less.
