You do realize that most of our oil comes from Canada, right?
And that there's not really much in the way of oil in Syria (or Iraq/Afghanistan), right?
You're better than this.
Generally speaking, you don't have much to worry about. There's always the possibility that intelligence has misidentified a building, a pilot has done something stupid... or that the government will decide to put radars on top of schools (makes Al Jazeera reporters happy - Americans blowing up schools) - but we've spent most of our R&D money, the last twenty years, in building weapons that blow up one room in a building without killing the guy in the next office.
That said - the real threat is likely to come from things like SAMs and other ordnance shot into the air (at us) that, due to a pesky thing known as gravity, will have to come down (probably in someone's living room).
Then you have the rebels... and who knows what they are going to do through all of this (last we knew, they were buddies with AQI and were co-sponsored by the people who have been paying to have us blown up in other countries.... so go figure).
This won't be a 'war' in the standard context. It's more like target practice for the Navy.
For once you post something other than the topic of religion, or homosexuality.

The Queen of the NB thanks you.
Posting this here will make you feel worse, since its filled with retards but have faith pal god bless you.
Syria is already blown to bits and whatever isn't will be soon. Perfect place to fight a war if you're worried about property damages. Then again screw it. Not our property.
Here's where I get confused. If the rebels have ties to Hezbollah but it's the government that is committing war crimes does that mean we finally get to roll into a country and just kill everyone like the good old days?
You know what I want? I'm sure my fellow military personnel would agree with this idea as well. How about we invade a cool country like Brazil or Australia where there are beaches and hot chicks everywhere? Rake in that tourism money instead.
I think an invasion of DC is far more appropriate and would be more productive in the long run. (Hello, NSA, welcome to Narutobase)
Things are getting so out of whack, here at home, that I'm kind of considering moving to Russia. And I hate cold weather. I'm a lean guy with little in the way of insulation.
Though I'm not sure if that's culturally practical, or not - but it seems like the long-term economic and social stability prospects are getting better by the day (in the sense that they are getting worse for us).
I mean... we -know- these guys have ties with all kinds of terrorist organizations. Several analysts to the area in the past have already determined that -both- 'sides' have been using various chemical weapons against each other for the past two years.
Now, all of a sudden, it's a huge problem we need to go throw ourselves into and help the very people who have been blowing us up the past decade.
And then we have people who think Obama is the best thing since sliced bread.
I'm not sure which of those parties actually piss me off more. Our incompetent/malevolent executive office... or the people who think the person in it is doing a good job.
