Response to the Situation in Syria

I know that someone else in the class responded to the situation in Syria, but I wanted to give my own opinions. I think that America really needs to step out of Syria. Civil wars should be handled domestically with no external assistance. Considering the fact that America seems to have a terrible track record with removing leaders and replacing them with presidents (think Egypt and Libya), we should probably spend the money we use overseas for something a bit more productive at home.

When the topic of chemical weapons come up, things become much more complicated. It is inhumane to use chemical weapons against civilians, but America does not have to be everyone's "knight in shining armor". This situation will eventually sort itself out without American intervention, and all we are doing by butting in, is making even more enemies. How many times do we have to try to replace dictators with presidents before we realize that this system is not working?
