In the past I have developed a belief that most here feel the US should not get involved in the internal matters in other nations and i would have thought that many here would be of the belief that past US involvement may be a contributing factor to the current conflict. That is the basis of my question.

Ace, pardon my interruption. You've posed an interesting question... and as I consider scenarios where we might become engaged as an influence of good, my realization is not at all what I had expected, especially at this time in my life ...
In answering your question: "Do you support US intervention (intervention can mean things other than military use)?" I want to say YES. We should absolutely feel compelled to intervene in situations like this... as should all nations of honor. But we... apparently (due to the century-long meddling of our combined leadership) have "none".
I can't see where our attempts at diplomacy can ever be trusted due to actions under the current and past (several) administrations. I believe we are a nation of generally good and honest people. I believe "we" would never knowingly support the things that have been done in our names. This must change.
... I'm out of time and should better explain my view ... but I'll need to let it go for now.
BTW - I don't always agree with what you have to say, but appreciate your integrity in these debates. You never seem to get down in the gutter. It's tough
not to sometimes, maybe we can all aspire to something more honorable in our daily lives and pass it on.
