How many dead Americans would an attack on Syria be worth?

11. Horrible topic

I OBJECT to the very idea of trading one life for another. No one life is more or less valuable than another. Every life is precious and the very idea of trying to determine if or if not a war is worth it by measuring it by some arbritary number of American lives is disgusting.

Thousands if not millions of people are going to die whether or not we get involved. If we do get involved we need to make sure its for something worth sacrificing an undeterminable number of lives. Not for financial gain, or appearances, or pride. We should do it because it is the right thing to do.

I don't think this conflict meets that criteria. As I see it all we will do is trade one form of tyranny for another or create a situation of endless civil war and terrorism. War should not even be considered till every peaceful means has been exhausted...and even then it should only be considered reluctantly.
