Would you be supportive of a Syria or Iran invasion?

I would not, unless they do something new that would give us a good reason to invade and I doubt that they will.

In some ways Syria is almost as bad as Iraq was but it hasn't been at war with us, and it hasn't threatened our oil supply or violated a ceasefire with us, or violated a series of important UN resolutions.

Iran has repressed its people and supported terrrorism but it hasn't done the same things that I said Syria hasn't done, also the fact that its a bigger country in both size and population would make policing it after an invasion even more difficult.

With the relative lack of justification that Syria and Iran have given us for an invasion, world political reaction to invading either would be worse then invading Iraq. But even if most of the world didn't care I would not support invading either. In fact I can think of no new invasions that I would support at this time.
