[That is very funny], so they want us to pay for their civil war? They gas their own people and we are supposed to pay? They invite the Russians in and then find it surprising we counter. Hell, for that matter, we can claim we were invited in too, by the opposition. Yeah, this claim is going no where.

Syria is almost like Iraq in the way that its country has been opened up by son many external forces but the major difference is the Syrian army which has a lot of power and resources. Syria is going to take decades to get back to where it should be, its too late for us there.

The fact that we are there, the Russians are there, ISIS is there, Syrian forces are there and Syrian rebels are there who is really saying what this country is going to look like once it is all over and done with. I still feel that this is a country that we should never have gotten involved with. Now we are just helping the creation of more instability in the region.

Hunter,

Yes, we definitely missed our opportunity to influence events in Syria. We had a window of opportunity a few years ago and blew it. I'll tell you, President Bush was too eager to commit us to wars and President Obama was too timid. Neither option is better than the other. The verdict is still out on President Trump.

As for the Iraq and Syrian armies, there was a time when Iraq's army could stand toe to toe with Syria's army. That time is long past though, so your analysis is correct. The worst thing we did after we beat Iraq was dismantling its army. That was a respected institution in Iraq and keeping it would have blunted the insurgency.

Syria's regime still reigns despite our efforts. We need to know when our position is not wanted and keep to our own. If we spent as much money on our own people as we do on other countries just imaine how much better things would be for us. If people in Syria really want change then they will rise up and make it happen without our help.

Hunter,

I agree with you to a point. Sometimes it's strategically important for us to intervene. We never should have gone into Iraq. That was a mistake. We could have intervened in Syria on the cheap in the beginning using nothing but air power. That would have kept Russia out, which is strategically important. The thing is, I'm not sure whoever we installed in power would have been better than who they have now or stayed friendly to us.

Then again, there is the argument that we should just mind our damn business and only answer direct threats. The only problem with withdrawing from the world like that is that is what helped lead to WW 2. It creates a vacuum and someone steps in and that someone may act like Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan.

We should have never interfered with Syria. When ISIS started invading Syria we should have let the Syrian army deal with it. Its their sovereign territory, we can't be involving ourselves with what's going on in every country all the time.
