Reader comment on item: Stay out of the Syrian Morass
Submitted by Lujack Skylark (United States), Jun 18, 2012 at 23:49
We should let the Moslems take care of their own wars. Look at Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. Iraq is now run by Shite Moslems, Libya is controlled by militias and the Afghanistanis hate us. We should stay out of Syria-then the Moslems can't blame western nations for all their problems.
