If Bashar al-Assad Uses Chemical Weapons, Should We Intervene in Syria?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

If that happens he's put himself in Gaddafi territory and Russia and China would abstain on the inevitable similar UN Resolution that would be brought up. So yes assuming it's not involving any ground troops and enforcing the Resolution. The question is Assad smart enough to know this. Or does he know that if he throws any chemical weapons anywhere in the general direction of Turkey that they'll retaliate and are probably capable of effectively destroying the Syrian Air Force and wiping out all military within 50 miles of the border.

No. Sam said it best...

No. Not a threat to the United States and not our business.

If we go into Syria, it will be a disaster. If they use gas on their own people, they would not think twice about doing it on our men.

US casualties in Libya: 0

Would be the same if done the same way here.

US profits in Libya?  the more relevant question.

Even more relevant is if intervention prevented Gaddafi from doing what he basically promised to do and slaughter all of Benghazi.

Lol.

See the problem is that Syria is not Libya and no, the same way is not applicable. Any effective intervention would require ground forces.

Why would ground forces be needed to wipe out the Syrian Air Force and any capabilities the military has of delivering chemical weapons?
