No, you're again tying what is right lawfully to what is right morally
A non-action can be just as immoral as an action. Morality and ethics are all dictated based on perception of a preconceived possible outcome and how one decides to act upon that

It's impossible to say for sure if a decision is going to be moral
No, it's not impossible ..The US has no legal claims on Syria or its people ergo any interference in its internal affairs is immoral since we are making a claim that does not exist and the suffering incurred from such meddling makes us culpable
the_great_intex posted:
A decision could just be as immoral to not assist in a rebellion against an oppressive government
No, again for th lack of any claim as stated before
Morality and legal claims are non-related. Morals are right/wrong decisions, good/evil etc. Ethical is probably the word you're searching for, it applies much more readily to the situation.

The french helped the rebellion in our revolutionary war, also. Without them there's a possibility that America would've never been created like it has today
See? It was a bad thing!

Any action that causes suffering is immoral .. our aid will bring about suffering as we saw recently in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya

Permitting suffering = perfectly "moral"

Clearly they're all the same.
Also, Assad isn't exactly winning any awards for nicest or most effective dictator, either.

My first thought was, "$12 million? Man, we must not give a shite because that's a lamely small amount of money for the US."
