Interest in regime change caused the crisis in Syria. Let's not kid ourselves. Our leaders are responsible for that mess. And they have no clue as to how to fix it. The whole thing was social engineering plot to get rid of Assad in the mist of Arab Spring. And that caused a civil war. Oops. Arabs have been at the mercy of American ambitions which are jaded by Saudi ambitions to mold the whole region into an area sympathetic to their interests. And they have been playing one monster against another at the cost of Arabs for decades. Meanwhile taking no responsibility for any of it, and blaming it on the monsters that they constantly help mold and manipulate. Yes the monsters were there to begin with, but their meddling creates chaos in the power structure that causes constant catastrophe.

So the solution is to meddle more and this time 'the west' will shit unicorns and rainbows right?

That's why many people don't want their government to meddle in it and why it's not 'everyone in the west's' failing. Of course, these people didn't want to meddle in the first place.

I agree with that. But if you don't want to meddle then you have to quit supplying the region and pull out... Which is not going to happen. Obama sold the Saudis 150 billion dollars in ammo. You think that's going to stop. UK same thing. Germany same thing. The meddling starts with business... but it does not end there.
