Give me a break. Do you think they really care about helping the Syrian people? Yes, if we intervened, civilian casualties would be massive. That right there should be the main reason to stay out-Syria is not Libya. It has a clustered population. But that would not help stop the intervention. They will do it if they want to. If we are going to intervene, then we are going to be intervening.
I never claimed that it was about the Syrian people. It's about neutralizing and Iranian and Russian ally in the region.
