What affects one affects all to the good or to the bad. We can hardly stay out of anything without breaking alliances and agreements. Isolation from the world around us wouldn't work to our benefit.
We do not have any alliance which compels our intervention in Syria. We do have one with Iraq and Afghanistan, of course, but absent those agreements, there's little of interest for us.
