1. Russia has been continually arming the opposition. You may not care about this, but you should realize they are doing this to increase their military influence in the region. The cold war will soon return and we should combat it now... rather than wait till later.
2. Russia has continually protested and armed Iran.
3. Russia wants a conflict. They want to a reason to rebuild their military strength. Ultimately, they will do this anyway.... regardless of what happens in Syria... Yet Syria is their staging point for deployments in the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
4. Israel will be targeted with chemical weapons if this is allowed to go unpunished. This PROVES, that there at least roque operatives in the Syria or Rebel factions that have no problem with taking such actions. If they will use it on their own Arab brothers.... they will use it on their sworn enemy Israel.
5. We have a moral obligation to stand against the use of chemical weapons. Just sitting back and allowing it to happen without a response..... just shows those who used it.... we can get by with it if we do it the right way. All we have do is create a situation in which there is some uncertainty as to who actually used them... we can do it.
Strange...out of your five bullet points, I didn't see any that had anything to do with us.

Israel is a strategic ally, and that has to do with us. But that's an argument for NOT bombing Syria.
