Even if Assad "fell," why would that resolve the civil war? Do you think the majority-Alawite cities right along the coast would peacefully transfer power to the majority-Sunni rebels? Did that ever happen in Lebanon, a country with similar demographic fractures that went through 16 years of civil war before a stalemate took hold? Why would it happen in Syria? Lebanon saw plenty of leaders rise and fall during the war era, but the war continued regardless.
If the US pulls out of the Middle East, the vacuum will be filled by Russia and China
I'm betting there is zero chance the US in any way "pulls out" of the Middle East, which would presumably include closing the bases in Qatar and elsewhere. Not intervening in Syria has little bearing on the overall US position in the Mideast.

When was the last time either one invaded another country under false pretenses to control the resources and take out all the gold? Remember all that gold that Saddam had? What happened to it? What about all the wealth that Gaddafi had accumulated for the African Union? poof

If the U.S. pulled out of the middle east it'd have to be to another planet for the violence against us to stop or, I guess we could just convert and accept Sharia law. That'd make it stop. Oh wait, they are still killing each other even if we're not there. Oh well...
My guess is that you are a provacateur, sent here to drum up support to get us into another war. That's why I called you a shill, probably from the Pentagon, CIA or Blackwater type corp.
LOLOLOL, you really cracked me up there...I had no idea I could be construed as so important and impactful, just wow. Actually, I was sent by the Klingon Empire as the Romulan Ambassador to slay the female vorta of the Bajoran Congress....

Truth is, the majority of native Syrians support their President,
And you claim that <I> am a "shill"? By definition, that's BS as 70% of the country is Sunni - not alawite - who have been oppressed along with the minority kurds for DECADES. If you think that those two groups support assad after his people have crushed them so badly - you REALLY have no clue about the country.

and the jihad is at the behest of our gov't.
Really? So it was the US convincing all those thousands of demonstrators throughout sunni territory to march, chanting "peaceful, peaceful" while assad's verminous murder machine shot at them? Wow, who knew that the US could be so persuasive? People like you make me laugh, at that's not a good thing.

The globalists are threatened by nationals that seek to preserve their sovereignty, and not comply to demands of the US and NATO. This is the same false information that got us into Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya.
The "globalists," the "banksters," the illuminati, the zionists...any more idiotic, meaningless labels you want to throw out there hoping someone as clueless and lost as you gets taken in with your ludicrous slogans?
So everyone who disagrees with you is a "shill"? Good 1st grade reasoning skills there, superstar.

Why is it up to us to decide the leadership of other countries?
Should France have allowed the 13 colonies to have been crushed by the British? Glad you were not the French King in 1776...
And why is it acceptable that Russia and iran can intervene, but not the US?

Aren't we supposed to be the most powerful of all nations? Syria is a mouse, you can get off your chair.
How many nukes would make you feel safe? We have somewhere between 5000 and 9000.

That's much too deep a line of reasoning for the clueless far leftists here too follow, as they lack the critical reasoning skills to grasp that. Please type more slowly next time...

Russia: Afghanistan, Georgia, Chechnya....
