Stay out of another country’s civil war

We asked our followers on Twitter what the best course of action is for the U. S. in Syria.

I hate to say it, but our best option is to stay out of the conflict. We are not the world’s police. We can’t afford to be.

@ DLC618

The U. S. should do nothing. Neither side aligns with our national security interests.

@ ahenshawisu

Establish responsibility for gas attacks. Adhere to international law. Use the U. N. Security Council to shame Russia and China into passive support.

@ magidelamin

If the U. S. genuinely wants to punish Bashar Assad, it should target him directly, not just his military.

@ ZBajee

No action. It’s an unfortunate civil war, but there is injustice and civil war in Africa we do nothing about.

@ jplowry713

Conduct surgical airstrikes. Doing nothing would result in loss of credibility.

@ mnoormo1

We can’t afford another war. Let the United Nations lead.
