I don't know if I would want to see anyone put boots on the ground in Syria right now, I don't know if I would want to see an air strike campaign against Syria right now.

With the inflammed emotions in the region especially with Iran who would see this as a direct threat to them and one of their closest allies.

I feel bad for the people that are dying over this, but I think a UN force would be caught in the middle and cut to pieces. A NATO mission would bring up accusations of American imperialism.

I think that we have to hope that the pressure from other Arab states eventually causes that government to fall, which is something that Iran would not want to see.
