Yes there are people dying, and that is terrible, really, really heartbreakingly terrible:

So we're going to go and give the rebels side the advantage? But then you read this:

Who is doing what? We know there is very likely elements within the rebels side that are terrorist organizations. So we're going to help them? Give them aid, money, weapons, training? Where will that end up, do we know for sure? Are we killing the right people?
Sorry to say, it's horrible that people are dying, but we should stay out of this one in my opinion. We could very well be helping the bad guys. Is it likely that Assad used the weapons? It's not impossible, but why exactly would he do that KNOWING that it would cause the US to get involved? Is it in the best interest of the cause of the rebels to have had them used, given that they now likely have 4 US Navy Destroyers on their side? Yep for sure.
Truth is, I think both sides would rather see Americans dead. The rebels need help right now, but look down the road. In the end we are still the great satan, we are still the infidel. It's a just ******* shame that little kids who don't hate anyone have to live and die in that hell. I have kids, and seeing those images makes me burn.
We may be world police, supposed to help the good guys, I just don't see a good guy here, and the police don't get involved in a gang war by helping one gang beat the other gang just because one side has better guns.
