I don't know the answer to that. The biggest slap in the face is when he sacrifice our tax dollars and lives of our military and then the people we were helping hate our guts for it as was the Middle East reaction to the ouster of the most brutal madman in Middle Eastern history, Saddam Hussein who probably holds the distinction of killing more Arabs than anyone in history. Add rape rooms, torture chambers and some if the most sick and twisted brutality imaginable and the people who rescue them from that are the bad guys.
I'd say yes in most cases but give more consideration to staying away from the Middle East due to their unique ideology on isolationalism/segregation were based on the Iraqi experience they've made it clear they'd rather live under an horrifically brutal dictator than have freedom at the hands of the United States. Of course, with respect to Syria there are other considerations. S Since we're in an unofficial treaty with the government of Syria that we recognize, the opposition fighting Assad where we publicly agreed in advance to help them militarily if Assad used chemical weapons and he did plus our need to use the full resources of the American taxpayers to support the oil oligopoly.
Of course! Just look at how 'free' Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya are. It isn't like those places aren't extremely dangerous with people being killed on a regular/semi-regular basis.
It is a UN issue since it is usually the actions of a sovereign nation. If the UN decides action is necessary then member states can volunteer to participate in corrective action.
The only time it becomes a strictly USA problem is when such weapons are being used against an ally, or against us. In either case, we respond with "shock and awe" against the aggressor nation.
The answer is no, but somebody's got to do it. If we don't like that nobody is, then we have to decide if we make it our job.
Agreed but I think we'd have more of an option not to if more of us drove electric cars and stability in regions of the world that supply oil to the global petroleum market, which is currently a global must have product.

I voted not present as a smart a**.
In all seriousness I don't feel the need for us to continue to be
the world's policeman!!
If its important enough get the UN !!!!
One issue I have with that, although I think its inevitable, is we'd be helping to move toward setting up a scenario for the UN to come in an police us at some point. Currently, under the present accepted arrangement nobody else tell us what to do. Do we really want America under international law to be subject to a global body made up of governments like Zimbabwe, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, China, Somalia and Pakistan?

Expectations of such proof is unrealistic. It couldn't be gotten even if true.The fact that we used chemical weapons in WWI, Napalmed cities to the ground in WWII, Used Agent Orange in Vietnam, and White Phosphorus in Iraq, Hardly gives us the say in this matter. The U.S. is being hypocritical, and I'm still waiting for the Obama administration to release the proof that the Assad government personally ordered this attack.
