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.

    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.…

    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…

    First and foremost, the Sunni and Shiite Arabs were the two factions that lifted the facade of peace and started a chain reaction of events in the Iraq War. After rarely having any significant power for a period of over nine hundred years the Shiite Arabs were hungry for it. As an article in the New York Times puts it, “Yet the conflict…

    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.…

    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…
