Everybody gets somehow 'involved' - its called politics, just look at Ukraine. Its not the same as blasting 100 billion USD into failed invasions that kills a million civilians and cripples many more, achieve absolutely 0 positive but massively destabilize whole region for generations to come. Syria wouldn't be such a mess without Iraq invasion for example, and whole arab spring movement would be much saner if it would actually happen. Palestine wouldn't be witnessing current events without many veterans of Syria conflict. And so on. Conflicts feed next conflicts.
But sure, military-industrial complex gets very happy, you can't sell many weapons if nobody is fighting and people settle their differences by talking, can you.
