a multilateral international conference was convened and by March had prepared a draft agreement known as the Rambouillet Accords, calling for restoration of Kosovo's autonomy and deployment of NATO peacekeeping forces.

A civil war would result in a lot of people escaping Syria and coming here!!

Why do you think they'd want to come here anymore than now?

Last time we gave arms to rebels was in Afgansitan and look wat happened there!!!

I think you'll find that had something to do with trying to balace out Russian imerialism

Mind our own business unless it affects us directly.

Whenever there is a civil war, refuges come her because we are safe place and we are fairly tolerant (unlike the French and Germans), so we do have an interest!
The US did help rebels stop the USSR in Afghanistan, but after that they became the Taliban, it also help create the Current Islamist threat indirectly with the help of Saudi Arabia!
We might not be world policemen, but NATO’s job is to deal with major conflicts since the end of the Cold War!
Read this about if a war against Syria is legal:

Nothing in there about " deal with major conflicts"
