Stay out of Syria? Yes, if you mean a 'boots on the ground, guns in our hands' type of situation.

If you mean stay out of Syria as in 'let's turn a blind eye to innocents being killed en masse with chemical weapons,' then I can't agree. There can be no hope of ever becoming a nation that's good and just if we would look away from the circumstance of people dying such horrific deaths. I don't know who fired the missiles, but somebody did, and I think we should find out and throw international law at them. Yes, even if it was us, as some conspiracy theorists surmise.
