Do we support the invasion of Syria to depose of Assad?

[DFab420]

Is sending American troops into Syria to stop Assad from killing his own people an option here?

1. No. Eom

2. Absolutely not

3. Wrong framing in your question. It is a civil war. Multiple sides are killing each other.

I do not think even the State Department understands the situation well enough to make an informed decision on which side, or combination of sides, to take.

The US should focus on negotiating a cease fire. Not invading, bombing or arming anyone.

4. No.

Recommended.

5. No. I have not seen where we have been appointed

the World's Police Force.

[UglyGreed]

6. No

our meddling in the Middle East for decades have created these problems and destroyed millions of lives.

7. Quagmire

unless there is a clear plan to get in and get out.

We're not going to win hearts and minds in that area in the near future, or make it safe for a gas pipeline.

8. No and nor should we be intervening by proxy either.

9. No. If the UN authorized it, we could discuss it but that is not going to happen.

Unfortunately, dictators killing their own people is how dictators stay in power. Usually it comes in the form of midnight arrests by the secret police, then torture and execution. Sometimes the killing comes out in the open like Assad's father in 1982 when an estimated 10,000 were killed in Hama when people rebelled against the dictator.
