I am not a pacifist. There is such a thing as legitimate self-defence. However we are not currently threatened in any serious way by anyone in Syria. Quite the contrary, as Perry de Havilland explains over at Samizdata; 

Some people want to intervene in Syria to stop Al Qaeda backed people and Hezbollah backed people killing each other.

Really?

 I have a better idea… sell ammunition to both sides.

Country Joe and the Fish provide the best marching song for the upcoming Syrian War; the latest attempt by our effete rulers to prove their machismo. They will do it in their usual style by shedding the blood of far better men than themselves from a very safe distance.
