Stay Out Of the Syrian Conflict

Open email to Senators. Lindsey Graham (SC) and Marco Rubio (FL):

Dear Senators Graham and Rubio,
    I heard your comments concerning US involvement in the Syrian conflict on Fox News this morning.
    I am very disappointed to learn that you are war proponents. With your knowledge of how we have performed in Middle Eastern wars, I would have thought that you would obviously be neutral on Syria.
    We have no basis of interest in Syria. It has nothing to offer us, and our involvement will only lead to additional costs at a time when we certainly do not have excess funds to waste. In addition, the initial supplying of weapons leads to a no-fly zone, which then leads to the shooting down of one of our planes by a shoulder missile operated by who knows which side. We are then rushing to "boots on the ground" and another Iraq, Desert Storm Kuwait, and Afghanistan. A ridiculous scenario.
    I strongly urge you change your positions to complete noninvolvement in Syria. That would include no use of US taxpayer funds for compassionate reasons. Refugees in neighboring country camps can be handled by those countries and any private funds from the US through the Red Cross.
    May I repeat? The Syrian conflict is none of our business and we should stay out of any involvement. As leaders in the US Senate, you have an obligation to see that we do not fall into a trap developed by war mongers such as Sen. McCain.
