Why Should We Go to War with Syria?

Syria, a country located in the Middle East, has been run by a perilous man named Bashar al-Assad. He has been in power since the death of his father, named Hafez al-Assad, since June 20, 2000. Bashar was elected in a public referendum and won 97 percent of the vote and was chosen for a seven year term. Still till this day he still runs the lives of those who wish to dethrone him. Also, he was selected to be the leader of the Ba’ath Party and as well commander in chief of the military.

That is why the U.S should get involved because if no one does not take immediate action, it will lead Assad to do the same thing over again and lives of many innocent children will be taken away. Although some people don’t think war is the answer, they have to rationally think and understand that our national security is at risk if we don’t act to immediately. Some citizens of the United States dissent with the statements Obama has made these past certain days and some do acknowledge that fact that we have to help these civilians, but we still have those who are undecided.

That is why we should take a military strike against Syria in order for them to understand that we won’t abide the use of chemical weapons.
