Jason Fritz on why not to attack Syria

From the Ink Spots blog comes this, as good a statement as
I've seen of why we should not intervene militarily in Syria:

I am with Dr. Slaughter in her
disgust for the Syrian regime for what they are doing to their own people. I
agree that they have violated their responsibilities as leaders. But I hesitate
to support the use American military force to wage war in an action that is
likely to result in the deaths of more civilians than the regime's current
actions. Values are an American interest, but are they worth war without
overwhelming support from the rest of the globe? I don't think so. Values are a
great reason to flex the United States' ample diplomatic and economic
capabilities as this approach is more in line with our values.

Tom again: Also, once we intervene, I think we are in part
responsible for subsequent events. What if the eventual winner in Syria starts
driving out or killing minority groups? Do we intervene again?
