Ill give my two cents worth on this. My view is a little different. Israel is supposed to be one of our allies and the are in the same area as Syria. It only makes sense to me that we should talk to them and see what they think we should do to help stabilize this area. After all what ever happens when its over we will pack up and go home but Israel will be there forever, its their home. Maybe doing nothing is the right answer, Im not sure, but Im sure the people in Israel have a better answer than our president does.
Personally I have a real fear that this is going to end in the Battle of Armageddon. I know most of the people here will laugh but if you look at a map you can see that its in about the right spot for that to happen.

What ever happens its always a good idea to avoid getting tunnel vision and try and see everything, all the possibilities, Like the Boy Scouts say "Be Prepared".
