Stay out of Syria's civil war: #tellusatoday

We asked our followers on Twitter what the best course of action is for the U.S. in Syria. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

I hate to say it, but our best option is to stay out of the conflict. We are not the world's police. We can't afford to be.

The U.S. should do nothing. Neither side aligns with our national security interests.

— @ahenshawisu

Establish responsibility for gas attacks. Adhere to international law. Use the U.N. Security Council to shame Russia and China into passive support.

— @magidelamin

If the U.S. genuinely wants to punish Bashar Assad, it should target him directly, not just his military.

— @ZBajee

No action. It's an unfortunate civil war, but there is injustice and civil war in Africa we do nothing about.

— @jplowry713

Conduct surgical airstrikes. Doing nothing would result in loss of credibility.

— @mnoormo1

We can't afford another war. Let the United Nations lead.
