The Syrians tried to take Syria back from Al-Assad- it lead to the Syrian war.

 

I don't see how we can possibly take Syria without causing even MORE issues.

I did put it in an over simplistic way, but let's say if there was ever a justification for a land invasion of any middle eastern 'country', this would be it. There was no mass exodus from Afghanistan or Iraq that could justify those 2 absurd invasions.

Now, on the other hand, you have the entire population of a country fleeing to neighboring countries. At some point that has to mean the land is up for grabs. You could bet your ass if they had oil or other natural resources there would have been no short list of candidates to ocupy the place.

In my oppinion it would be better to squash the daesh in there, rather than let their infection spread. Supposedly there has been some military progress, but once some sort of success has been achieved it would be good to return the Syrian citizens to their country, help them rebuild actual schools, not madrassas, and perhaps things could get back to normal.

Yes, it would have costs, but doing nothing will have greater costs in the long run.

Not entirely sure.

 

A lot of our issues came from constant interference with the middle east. I'm sure our politicians will screw it up and corrupt Syria.

 

Your idea is smart. However, humans can be selfish. They may take the resources and just ignore the people who need help. you never know.
