Debate Essay on Syria’s Issue
August 26, 2013

The U.N must attack in unity (hence the label) in order to respond to such outrage, otherwise it may become an impossible task without a leader. The rest of the U.N, especially France which has already decided to involve themselves, must have their superior and leading country to surgically strike Syria. I completely concur with the idea of being included in the issue with Syria, not only to help their people, but to protect the countries adjacent to Syria in which we have trading relations with. And besides, defending our relationship with foreign trade districts, we need to minimize Syrian government power from oppressive rule and casualty in warfare.
France is taking initiative, so why aren’t we? As superior and leading country in the U.N we should be the first to send troops directly to Syria to charge. I understand the risk we take in this action, but anything that could affect our country should be worth fighting for in any circumstance. We need to begin/continue supplying military weapons as preparation and leverage to run up against the alleged use of chemical weaponry. We must also consider inducing extra protection for Syrian civilians after discovering the horrific and tragic mass killing by chemical weapons. These are innocent victims that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time; we mustn’t be selfish and let that go to keep ourselves out of a risky position. Although, Assad is denying the use of chemical weapons on civilians, we need to help the future victims that are being oppressed and exposed to horrific crimes against humanity.
Syria is not the only country going to be affected by its’ unjust government rule, its’ neighboring countries without a doubt would be captivated if we do not act quickly. This could break any trading relationship we have with Syria’s surrounding countries which could affect our financial status and as nearly every other country has had financially,

    The Syrian issue can be traced to Bashar al-Assad desire to stop Islamic insurgents and the success of the Arab spring in Egypt that over threw that despot government. This motivated Syrians to protest and seek the removal of Assad’s dictatorial government. To compound matter in Syria Muslims and Christians religiously divide the country. These conflicts resulted in the rise of the free Syrian army, the rebels, who have earned them selves against Assad military. In response president Assad has order swift and cruel attacks on his own people. The attacks quickly moved from traditional military attack to the use of chemical weapon by Assad. The introduction of chemical weapons, where were banned by the UN, the regime of president Assad has violated international law and needs to be brought to justice by the global community.…

    With the introduction of chemical warfare, a much greater risk is posed to neighboring friendly and partner countries in the region, particularly Israel, Jordan, Turkey, and Iraq. If the United States shows weakness towards Syria, or pulls back from its stance on the use of chemical weapons, the Assad regime could feel motivated to carry out more attacks, possibly outside of its immediate border. Any show of weakness would also embolden Syria to begin facilitating trade with local insurgent groups (Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, etc…) that would then use the weapons against U.S. allies in the region. Each witness today has…

    This article speaks about the recent new that a coalition of seventy partners, which includes the United States, has gotten involved in the Syrian Uprising by pledging to donate millions of dollars and communications equipment to the rebel groups in Syria who are opposing Assad's rule. This move by the U.S and other Western powers symbolizes the start of a new type of involvement in Syria, perhaps a more direct one. This move by these powers have caused many Syrian rebels and people observing all over the world to question whether diplomacy and/or sanction methods can truly end the Syrian regime's oppression of their people. This more direct shift of action by the Western and Arab allies of the Syrian rebels toward balancing the military balance in Syria is dangerous regionally because the crisis there is similar to a proxy conflict, which could possibly aggravate sectarian tensions. The Syrian rebel army is currently overmatched by the regime forces in terms of weapons.…

    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.…

    A deadly civil war has been raging for two years in Syria between the government and the rebels. Consequently, on 21st August, Damascus was struck by rockets containing chemical materials. Within hours thousands of innocent people were left profoundly distressed at the barbaric aftermath caused by these sudden attacks. 1,429 people were killed including 426 children and the manner of their deaths was unspeakably grim. The Syrian government were accused of conducting these attacks but denied allegations even though evidence clearly shows they were complicit in this deeply inhumane massacre of their own people. Should we just stand passively and allow more chemical callous carnage or should we take military action with the strong possibility that if we do so this could lead to more deaths than we imagined despite the honourable motive involved.’…

    A series of pro-democracy protests that took place in 2011 in Syria has escalated into a full-blown civil war. Because of this, one of the bigger issues that has risen over the past few years is the amount of people that have fled Syria due to the war. Roughly, over four million Syrian refugees had to flee; most of them are women and children. This has not only developed into a problem for the refugees themselves but to many neighboring countries as well. Some of these include Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan and Greece. The U.N has taken note over the situation since many countries are struggling to accommodate the thousands of refugees that come in on a regular basis.…

    Over 110,000 people have died in Syria since the beginning of a years-long conflict in the country. On August the 21st, the U.S government says that 1,429 died through the chemical attacks which marked the sea change in foreign policy towards the Middle Eastern country. The impact of poison gas is horrific and fatal. Those exposed to the nerve agent can die within 15 minutes of exposure. Mr. Obama's absolutist position against it is backed up by international law and the United Nations. The 1925 Geneva Protocol prohibits the use of chemical and biological weapons in war. this was reinforced by the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention, which aimed to eliminate an entire category of weapons of mass destruction, and forced countries involved to destroy all of their production facilities. Only five of the world's countries did not sign the pledge: North Korea, Egypt, South Sudan, Angola - and yes, Syria. However it is still bound by the earlier 1925 protocol.…

    It is true that no single country is able to tackle today’s complex challenges. Each state must accept that the one’s security is the primary concern hence regional stability and human security especially in the Muslims world should be dealt in accordance with the Islamic legal system which differentiates in origin, nature and scope from that of any other legal system in the world. According to Chapter VIII of UN charter, it is legal to involve regional arrangements and agencies in the maintenance of international peace and security. There are many regional coalitions in the world, promoting peace and stability in their respective fields of concern, then why are we so exhausted on all these matters? If the EU Foreign Policy Chief, Catherine Ashton can visit the ousted President Morsi, then where are the diplomats of our Muslim world? Why is the US administration deliberating to use military force in Syria?…
