Not this time. However standoff capabilities are pretty advance these days. I don't want it to happen either way.
This affair has the potential to get really ugly really fast. The last thing we need is another proxy war wasting lives for nothing more than ego.
Let them settle it on their own. Syria is so devastated anyways it will take them at least a decade to clean up the mess.
But it looks like we are going to support Al Queda regardless what I think.

No Obama administration is supporting Hezbollah AND al Qaeda, OUR leader Harper supports Israel.
Russia supplies arms, the US supplies arms.. almost sounds like El Salvador.
Oh well, I see it as Muslims killing Muslims.. send in more guns..
I support ASSAD, who the hell want's another country with the Muslim Brotherhood running it.
They should have left Hosni Mubarak in charge of Egypt.
Better the devil you know (than the devil you don't).
Israel doesn't. This isn't about Muzzie on Muzzie, it's all about Trillions and Trillions of $$$ and nothing more.
I assume you are aware that the United States is in the process of being defeated by people who are tired of Western imperialism. The only way for America to avoid Blowback is to come home and abandon its foreign empire. That means the rest of the West is on its own...with Canada being the only exception.
Sure, then the Trillions will flow afterward and nobody but those involved will benefit. What will happen when you get in the way of trillions of dollars? Will the rest of the world say"**** him" he's just a honky from AB.?
US troops are already at the Syrian border with Jordan. About 300 members of Patriot Missile batteries. They are the first of many. What could go wrong?
Most Americans don't seem aware that Obama is launching a new war in their names. Most livestock aren't aware of that either.

Its more than just two sides. Its not just the Assad regime against "the rebels." Its not all about religion either though naturally it plays a big role. Assad and his father's governments were pretty secular compared to most in the region. Hopefully whichever group the US is aiding isnt one of the groups that wants to install another theocracy. If whichever group they are helping looses and another faction takes over Im sure they will remember this. It may be better to sit back and watch.
That would be nice to see. The other western empires either abandoned or were forced out of their colonies awhile ago.
Unless you and your family have to live under one of those devils. If the choices are supporting a tyrannical dictator or religious extremists who will put in their own form of dictatorship - then support neither.
Obama is increasingly isolated from world opinion which opposes his adventure in Syria. UN Secty. Ban Ki-moon doesn't believe Obama has proven that the Syrian govt. has used chemical weapons:
"U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, however, voiced opposition to the U.S. decision to send arms to the Syrian rebels. He said no one can be certain chemical weapons were used without an on-the-ground investigation. Increasing the flow of arms to either side "would not be helpful," he said."

I knew I was avoiding this thread for a reason. I just kept bypassing it and dancing around it. But it finally ensnared me and yup, all the hairs are standing up on the back of my neck, and it leaves me feeling numb.
Bet if it was like in the old days were the king was riding right along side the troops there would be a whole lot less war. Here Sir, have a gander at the guy beside you getting his head blown off.
We just keep everything so clean and sterile. We remove the reality of the human being in every messy situation and we tally forth from the comfort of our lives.
