Couldn't agree with you more, the west does not need to get involved in this
You can't agree with me, because my opinion is shifting by the minute.
I don't want another war
But at the same time, if these reports are accurate, I feel like dogpoop for just standing around when we could help for good
But I felt the same way when dubya was discussing Iraq at the beginning
But etc...I do want to find a stand though based on principles before anything is done. Do I see the west as needing to do what is the right thing, or do I see it as social Darwinism,
I see both points, its a choice of a turd burger or a s--- sandwich
The United States' military expenditures today account for about 40 percent of the world total. In 2012, the US spent some $682bn on its military - an amount more than what was spent by the next 13 countries combined.

If they have real undeniable proof let them bring it to the UN general assembly.
I am pretty sure it says they are going to do just that in one of the links i have provided.
French President Francois Hollande has said the growing proof of chemical weapons use in Syria "obliges the international community to act".
However, Mr Hollande cautioned: "We can only act within the framework of international law".
He spoke hours after Syrian government forces retook full control of the strategic western town of Qusair, after a siege lasting more than two weeks.
