So are you saying countries should retreat from Syria and let things fall where they may, or are you saying we should get more involved?
Of course countries act selfishly. It's crazy to think otherwise. Everyone will act selfishly. Europe the ME, etc. want stability in Syria selfishly, but coincidentally it's a good thing.

I'm saying that our current involvement in Syria is worse than not being involved, and talking about Syria as if "helping" is even an option our leaders are considering is naive, and buying into the propaganda.
I can see a number of ways we could be involved positively in Syria, but we're not, and we're not going to be.
