The only reason we didn't see open conflict in Iraq under Saddam's rule was because he was that brutal he would, and did, murder millions of his own people to crush any opposition. Saddam made Assam look like a pussy-cat. If we went into Syria we'd first have to remove Assad and his military and then try to police several heavily armed warring factions for 10 years before a semi-stable government could be formed, sound familiar? Meanwhile people like yourself would righteously condemn it as an illegal war. As I've said, the reason we don't intervene in stuff like this anymore is because of people with your opinions, and they have to take a certain amount of responsibility for it.
As for the NATO stuff, I think you're getting a bit confused. You said before that we should have declared war on Germany at the earliest possible time. My point is that Russia is essentially doing the same as Germany did, so should we declare war as soon as we can. Problem here is you don't have hindsight to help you out this time.
