The Issue With Syria

So one of the big questions going around the political world today is: Military intervention or not?

My opinion is it depends on the circumstances of the country. Of course there are some countries whereby military intervention is just way out of the question and there are some countries whereby military intervention is an absolute necessary.

Nevertheless, looking at past USA's intervention in Middle Eastern countries....its never a good results. Thousands die, starvation, homeless and sometimes their lives are worse off then what they used to be like. Not to mention after the USA succeed, the countries seem to go back to square one. They are controlled by yet another country...namely the USA.

Others talk about religion and how the USA just wants to control all Muslim countries and military intervention is the best way through it. No wonder Obama is adamant for intervention.

However, if the international aid does not step in and do at least something about it where would it lead the people of Syria?.......

However, one of the my friends posted a link to an article which talked about the USA contribution to Saddam's chemical attacks in Iran a generation ago. They assisted him with nerve gas attacks that are more deadly then the attacks in Syria......makes you think. Why would the USA be willing to assist these gas attacks for Saddam but be so adamant to stop the chemical attacks happening in Syria. A change of President is not a suffice enough answer.
