The cynic in me says "follow the money". War is expensive, so someone out there is making a fortune every time a bullet is fired, a missile is launched, and a body bag needs to be replaced.

*BING* *BING* *BING* We have a winnar!

The people making money right now on Syria is...

*drumroll*

Russia!

There's your reason why Russia doesn't want the situation in Syria to end, they're getting paid quite a bit for weapons to the Syrian regime.

Likewise, taking out the Syrian regime would also cause a lot of pain for Iran because they couldn't ship their oil out through the Syrian port(s).

It would also cause Hezbollah and Hamas (both puppets of Syria and Iran) to weaken considerably and maybe allow for some possible peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

So yeah, the US striking Syria would do a lot of damage to a variety of bad people and those bad people are saber rattling right now..

As a somewhat side note, a co-worker just got back from Lebannon after visiting family and was in the area of where the bomb went off. He believes that it was done by Syria to take focus away from what is going on in Syria, how right my co-worker is or not remains to be seen, but it's not something that would surprise me that Assad and his regime would do.
