Why should we care if biden wants to bomb Syria?

List with no order of importance:

Syria isn't at war with the US or any other Western nation. Never invaded neighbors. Like the other Middle Eastern countries that the US has ruined, it was stable until this unnecessary intervention.
It's a huge waste of resources for no gain. The time and materials that went into building what is destroyed as well as the military consumables. The net balance of war is always negative. When fighting or supporting pointless conflicts like this, even more so. It would be less destructive to just give the military-industrial complex their billions for not going to war. At least with the US government, they seem to value destroying other nations more than building their own.
It creates more refugees that end up in Western countries.
Cultural and historical damage, lost artifacts and art.
Lives lost ("collateral damage").
It doesn't respect the autonomy and right to self-determination of other nations.
Golden rule, how would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot.
Fighting for "democracy" is very Western-centric and presumes that our system of governance is more suitable than the existing systems in these countries.

Because it benefits Israel.

We are talking about a whole country being destroyed by ISIS, USA and Israel, if you don't see what the problem is then I don't know what to say.

Let's put it like this: The benefits for our civilization of being in the ME in the capacity we are now are virtually zero while the potential for disaster -- think migrant crisis and the things listed by the other commenters -- is nearly limitless.

Lots of reasons.

1* Risk of escalation - bombing syria could result in further conflict with Russia or the muslim hordes

2* Acts of military agression cost money and lives. Even if no one died, people were put at risk and bombs cost lots of money.

3* Bushar Allah ah bak bak Assaad might be the good guy here? The people he is fighting against look like muslim goat fuckers.

4* Some people object to proxy wars for Israel

5* Other people even object to bombing people for moral reasons depending on the justification

6* "No Assadi ever called me a nigger" -Muhammad Ali

There are probably more reasons, but these are some that might be popular?

The group that was bombed was a pro-Iranian militia in the middle of the Syrian desert, people are misinformed when they say it was civilians or the Syrian government bombed. But regardless, it shows that Biden is still committed to hostility with Iran which is entirely pointless and only in Israel's interest.

Because war strengthens the System at your expense.

Forgot about the migrant crisis in 2015? We'll get syrian refugees in europe and other non whites posing as syrians.
