    From what little I know of the Syrian situation:

    * oppressive government that cheerfully murders it's people whenever they get feisty (Arab Spring. Kept gunning everyone down, including journalists).

    * rebel army (armies?) that were originally interested in freeing Syria, now more interested in imposing Salafist (ie, Muslim fundamentalist) ideas on the country instead.

    And russia's backing the government.

    I see absolutely zero reason to become a part of this in any way, shape, or form.
