It is funny when reading most of the members comments, they just keep looking for excuses and lie to themselves just to justify the wars they get involved into. Iraq is one of the largest oil reserve in the world and according to some sources it is the largest reserve of oil, not talk about the quality of their oil. Saddam refused to sell oil for US money or more correctly US papers as well as many other reasons. It does not need a political genius to understand the main reasons.
In history, to control the world you must control the center of the world and to control the center you must control Palestine, that's why Palestine was the target of all empires by different reasons such as religions, ethnicity, etc that only naive, ignorant or/and deceived people fall to them.
As for the main topic and as always, USA government and their tail UK government among other countries can scream, act humanitarian and heroic (hypocrite) as mush as they want. But reality is they still don't dare get involved in Syria. Unlike Iraq; Syria is in border with Palestine/Israel and any real chaos in Syria will threat Israel existence which in return will threat USA existence in the middle east. Unlike Iraq; Syria has many alliances. If they do attack, then expect and regional or/and world war. And if they don't attack it is still risky for them, that they will with time start losing control over the middle east.
