Absolutely.

Whilst I'd rather allow the middle-east to solve their own issues, mainly because the Western world gets criticised by liberals every time they intervene in the middle-east, the use of chemical weapons against innocent people would be hard to turn away from.

I'd say yes, but then again, if the Western World did intervene in Syria, they'll only receive criticism for doing so.

Maybe we should step this one out.

if we intervene, we're going to end up staying...for a while and will end up building a permanent Military base...

it will be a drawn out conflict

While I concur with your assertion that the West (and the U.S. in particular) will inevitably be criticized for intervening, I disagree with the implication that it may be better to sit this one out to avoid said criticism.

"Should we intervene here to prevent the use of biological attacks and save countless lives?"

"No way - Other countries will most likely portray us as the bad guys again. Not worth it."

When "good men sit back and do nothing, evil prevails.

But intevention could lead to a proxy war with the Russians.

Assad's days are numbered the rebels will take control, who are they going to be thankful to once it is all over?

Not at all, don't need any ground troops at all.

Just air support and to knock out tanks, air fields and munition stores as well as feeding back intel to the rebels on the ground.

Letting some bent and twisted individual use chemical weapons on innocent people isn't acceptable and intervening doesn't make anyone a terrorist

I don't want anymore wars but I would support this one if innocents are poisoned by chemical weapons

But slaughtering civilians, women, children on a daily basis ok?

That is what has been going on.

Why should it what weapon kills them?
