If an invasion of Syria occurs, there will be a war of unprecedented proportions. Just like in Libya, the US would kill tens of thousands of civilians and bomb the infrastructure of Syria back into the stone age, destroying houses, schools, hospitals, and anything else they can drop a bomb on.

However, Syria has air defense technology that is 5x more advanced than that of Libya, and it has Russian S-300 missiles which are among the best anti-aircraft missiles in the world, so the conflict would be much longer and bloodier than in Libya, and would cause enormous casualties on both sides.

Also, Starting a war with Syria means potentially starting World War 3, because Syria has a mutual defense pact with Iran, and Russia has said they will retaliate if Syria is invaded.

And if the Syrian government is successfully overthrown, there will be total chaos and destruction everywhere, massive sectarian violence will erupt, hundereds of thousands will die, minorities like Christians and Alawites will be massacred, radical Islamists will take over, and a puppet government will be installed that will sell the whole country away to the West and the Gulf states.

Libya already recieved a “humanitarian intervention”, and look where it got them. 50,000 dead, a country in ruins, no functioning infrastructure or institutions, armed militias fighting in the streets, thousands of people rotting in secret prisons, people getting kidnapped and tortured every day by the new “democratic” government, thousands displaced from their homes, and regions threatening to declare independece and split the country into pieces.
