Obama and the Syria Civil War

Obama wants to go to war in Syria. From all appearances, this is a civil war between regional Sunni muslims and the Assad based Shiite muslims. Napoleon said "not interfere with the enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself." Obama has a long way to prove any reason to get involved 1) Who are the rebels and are they worse than Assad? 2) Is there a threat to America? 3) What is our end game / exit strategy? 4) Is any of this worth risking American lives? 5 If we just do an air war, what is the benefit if we replace one dictator with another? Do we really think they'll set up a Jeffersonian democracy. The case against Saddam was much more compelling than Assad, but Obama and Kerry opposed it. This is mind boggling. Let's compare dictators: Saddam: -- Invaded and pillaged Kuwait -- Broke terms of 1991 cease fire -- Kicked out weapons inspectors -- Used chemical weapons on 50,000+ Kurds -- Defied 18 UN resolutions -- Tried to assassinate Papa Bush -- Harbored a 1993 WTC bombing conspirator -- Paid the families of suicide bombers Assad -- May have used chemical weapons on 1,000 people. (Also may have been a false flag by the Sunni 'rebels')
