Your point of view is definitely valid, and it's definitely thought-provoking, but I think it's too absolutist, simply because nothing is done in a vacuum. Blowback is a very real thing, and it can happen in the moment or over time. But every action has an equal and opposite reaction. We don't live in an ideal world, but a gray one.

I agree with the fact that we can't help everyone, because we would absolutely be paying more money than what we are able, to continue being in the okay financial state we're in today. But with that said. Are the abominable attacks being made on these innocent people not equivalent to an innocent person being mugged and killed in the street? Us being the watching bystanders, would we not be scolded for the lack of intervention in these heinous crimes? In this correlation, it is more a matter of morality. Sure, financially we shouldn't, but if we have the means to help even though we might be hurt in the process, it's just the right thing to do. With that said, it shouldn't just be us intervening. By using chemical warfare, they broke international law. Right? So everyone apart of the United Nations, all countries should go in and imprison all those accountable for the use of chemical warfare and the deaths of many innocent people. I'm not sure if that is feasible, but it makes sense to my limited mind for lack of knowledge on this subject. What do you think?
