My feelings are that IF America really got involved, the plan would be similar to the first Gulf War, airstrike the beejesus out of them until they play nice. I don't think Obama/the senate is dumb enough to commit actual ground forces to Syria while we are in the middle of pulling out of Afghanistan. Plus from what I've heard, the government the rebels are trying to install wouldn't necessarily be any less oppressive, it would just be a democratically elected kind of oppression. Don't quote me on this I don't really keep up on what's going on over there but I remember reading something about the rebels just trying to install a democratic government with laws still centered heavily around Shariah Law (Islamic Law) and that wouldn't be much better than Assad in terms of personal freedoms for the people.Our leadership wants the rebels to do all the legwork, like Libya we would take out hard targets while everything else is left to the locals. Becuase we want terrorists and more bad guys in power!
