Evidence: in order to attack them we at least should have some good credible evidence, if we don’t this could turn into another world war sense Syria has some powerful allies, which would result in even more people getting killed.
Rough Draft
An issue of national and international concern that is of importance to me is our current debate about the US helping Syria or not. Syria is currently on a civil war between the Syrian government and the Syrian rebels.
These wars begin because of a religious rivalry between the Sunni and Shia Sunni are the minority in Syria and they also are part of the Syrian armed forces or their army, Shia in the other hand is the rebels, and therefore the majority. Being in the same religion as the rebels or the Syrian army does not mean that they all support the war, some of them are just innocent citizens caught in a war that they did not necessarily wanted.

    For 6 years Syria has been at war with itself. In these 5-6 years many people have died. And many towns and cities left and ruined. The beginning of the fifth year of the war half a quarter million people have been killed. And over 10 million have been forced to leave their homes. And it all began with the actions of peaceful protestors. Which has cost the lives of 100,000 people and forced over two million to flee to the relative safety of neighboring countries. This conflict has captured the world’s attention because of the tactics employed by the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad. Unarmed civilians were attacked and killed by government troops as they searched for the most effective and seemingly brutal method for quelling this uprising. Now there are some US politicians, who feel that it is the duty of our country to get involved militarily, but this with two wars already fought the past ten years, there seems to be little to no public support for this type of move. The United States is not the world’s policeman and should let countries solve their own problems.…

    Foremost, the conflict could have begun because of political repressions. Without question, the political system of Syria resembles monarchy. The family of the current Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has been ruling the country for 45 years. His father became president in 1970. Since that time, the country has not seen any political reforms and changes. The current president came to power in 2000. Doubtless, al-Assad has not done anything for the development of a democratic state.…

    The conflict in Iraq is considered by many people to be an unimportant one. But from researching this topic for the past few weeks, I have come to the conclusion that this was a very serious conflict. When Iraq was ruled by the brutal tyrant, Saddam Hussein, they instantly became one of the most violent countries in the world. In twenty years, Saddam led the Iraqi military to two wars. One war was against Iran that lasted from 1980-1988 and was considered to be one of the bloodiest wars in the history of the Middle East. The second one was the Gulf War of 1991 against Kuwait. Both of these wars were results of Saddam sending Iraqi soldiers into these two countries and demanding a piece of territorial land. The conflict in Iraq was a cause of Saddam Hussein forcing the country into multiple wars and ordering the killing of nearly a million Shi’i Muslims in Iraq.…

    Although the actions of Syrian President Bashir al-Assad can be considered unjust and inhumane by many because of his governmental censorship, the United States should not be involved because the crisis in Syria has been on-going, and it is possible that continued intervention by the U.S. will lead to a full fledged war, especially with the United States potentially angering neighbor of Syria, Russia. The United States military force was deployed in Syria in early 2013, and since then nearly 190,000 people have died, 20,000 being in the United States military.…

    The Syrian uprising started in March of 2011 when the people of Syria started protesting due to the government's lack of respect for human rights and demanding reforms. The government responded with a military shutdown, using tanks and snipers to encircle cities. Because of this, the people of Syria began to demand President Bashar al-Assad to step down from his title. He has strictly ruled Syria since 2000 because of the death of his even more authoritarian father, Hafez al-Assad. The Assad family has controlled Syria for over 40 years, turning the country into one of the world's most repressive police states. The people in Syria had seen how Libya and other countries have overthrown their governments, so they are greatly influenced by their actions. This turned into a growing civil war between the Syrian rebels, and Assad and his supporters.…

    There is little doubt that the ongoing conflict in Syria presents the United States with foreign policy challenges. There is also little doubt that the civil war can be labeled as a humanitarian catastrophe. The numbers don’t lie, “nearly a quarter of Syria 's population may now be displaced from their homes, and the death toll approaches 100,000 -- and continues to rise inexorably” (Ross, 2013). These numbers indicate that this conflict has not, and will not remain isolated to within Syria; it presents a real challenge to regional stability. Refugees fleeing the country are beginning to destabilize the region. To make matters worse, these refugees have been replaced with sectarian fighters. Moreover, the destabilization of Syria is of grave concern to US national interests due to the biological and chemical weapons it potentially possesses. Due to this, President Obama has drawn a “red line” that would bring U.S. military action into the conflict. The crossing of this “red line”, the use of chemical weapons, has already been confirmed and time has passed. Additionally, the integrity of the opposition forces fighting against Assad’s Regime, also known as the Free Syrian Army (FSA), has come into question. Major Free Syrian Army battlefield victories have been claimed by a secular Islamic group, Jabhat al-Nusra, an Al-Qaeda affiliate. Thus far the Obama Administration has diplomatically recognized the Free Syrian Army as the legitimate government of Syria and has provided food, water, medical supplies and small arms. This analytical research paper will ask the question, why has the United States chosen to get involved in the Syrian conflict, diplomatically recognizing the Free Syrian Army as the legitimate government of Syria? This…

    My first reason is many innocent people are losing their lives in Syria due to the outrageous war that has been happening since 2011. An example is in the article it says over 100 thousands of Syrian citizens have been killed since 2011. Another reason is while families try to escape the growling civil war they are loosing their lives in transit. Another example is a 3 year old kid drowned trying to flee with his Syrian family. My final reason is Syrians are starting to suffer and die from cold and sickness. My final example is a lot of Syrian refugees are severely suffering from flu, pneumonia, diseases, and Syrians say it won’t be long before a young Syrian child freezes to death. Even after the events of the holocaust we still hide and don't help with the Syrian refugees who are desperately dying off and seek our…

    If this feud with ISIS started with a country such as the United States, then it should be the United States trying to call an end to something that could become a war. Instead, the U.S. is going to help France “bring these terrorists [people part of ISIS] to justice” (Staff). This will not cause peace, but will rather cause more hatred between rivaling countries. If the feud with ISIS started with ISIS causing mayhem, then the U.S. and their allies should be trying to figure out what has made all these people so upset. There is always a reason for everything and so there must be a reason for ISIS being created. This leads me to another point. How has Syria gotten all of their weapon supplies? Most of the Syrian population is too poor to even afford food so how exactly do they have “assault rifles” and “grenades” (Staff). Most of the people living in Syria are trying to make ends meet and provide food for their family. Then, there are those who supposedly attack other countries with weapons and bombs. These same artilleries are present in countries such as Europe, Russia, and the United States. It all seems very…

    When a civil war in Syria broke out in 2011, Syrian citizens have been in peril. The complicated war has lead to economic collapse and civilian casualties. Millions are now fleeing the country in hopes of a better life. Looking at information and what is at stake, the notions of the world powers toward Syria is not enough and limiting the amount of refugees into the country just on false accusations on the refugees. Many fear of a Muslim dominance, an increase of terrorist propaganda or attacks, and if they can support the amount of people concerning jobs and other necessities. The Syrian refugee crisis is worse than expected, and needs more help from the world.…
