Syrian invasion
Why the West shouldn’t invade Syria
Thousands of people have been killed in the Syrian uprising and the number is rising quickly. You can find massacres, food shortage and blockade throughout the entire country. Many of the opposition force are waiting hopelessly for the international organisation to destroy Assad’s regime. Unfortunately, this isn’t going to happen anytime sooner.
There are many reasons why the west must not intervene militarily in Syria. First, what does the NATO involvement look like? Is it about helping Syrian to destroy their evil government and restore human rights, or are we talking all about regime change?
Second, if Assad’s regime is collapsed, who will run the government without the help from NATO forces? Will the new Syria succeed without becoming the second Iraq? Also, the Syrian business sector, media, education, social development and law enforcements are controlled by the Assad. What will happen to those vital national infrastructures if Assad collapsed? In other words, who will repair those infrastructures in this tough economic time period?
Third, what will Russia and China react to this event? We all know that Russia and China are allies with Syria. By destroying Assad’s regime, are we sending a strong message to Russia and China that we are ready to start a war with you? Additionally, Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Iraq will come up with a new strategic plan and alliance with terrorists in Syria to strike NATO forces from the back while they are busily helping opposition force to destroy their government.
Fourth, invading Syria will set a new precedent, just like the domino effect. As we can see from the unrest in Tibet, will Chinese protesters take up the streets in Beijing and unleash another 1989 Tiananmen massacre? If that happens, will NATO consider another military strike over China? In another word, did anyone think about the consequences like the possible massacre in other countries and something similar because they

    The United States, as an important leader in the global community, should play role in easy the tensions and more specifically ending the use of chemical weapons in Syria. However, The United States should not go this road alone. This is issue of international importance and as such it should be an international coalition that works with the Syrians to resolve the issues. The untied states time after time go into other countries and try to help things out but in the end we look like the bad guy. The United States military has been perceived as the world police, due to the interventions the US has provided in the past. At times, the interventions were uninvited. The Syrian people say something should be done but no one wants to step in and do something. This is why The United States needs to get other countries to get involved with us and bring Syria to justice for betraying laws. If the United States does decide to get involved we have to get our military involved also. The reason for that is because if we decide not to and discus a solution nothing positive will come out of it. Once we have two countries army’s involved on this and…

    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.…

    The Syrian Crisis have always been interesting to me and when the opportunity came to write about it, I took the chance. Syrian war is what is really interesting about this topic because the war is like a revolution that the President started. He didn’t expect for the Sunni muslims to fight back and now it’s like a revolt against the government. It’s also interesting how the death toll is rising and more and more people are fleeing but yet other countries are yet to get involved and fix this problem that has been ongoing since 2011. This problem probably…

    I can’t come to school or go to work without listening the international news. Every morning, rather than getting something to eat for breakfast I turn on the TV and flip through the channels between CNN, BBC or Aljazeera to watch the news about Syrian civil war. The Syrian civil war is an ongoing conflict that’s happening in current time. The problem started in early spring of 2011 within the context of “Arab spring” protest and nationwide demonstrations against the policy of the Syrian government. Although the United States of America has a policy of intervention and involvement in country like Syria, they should not do it because it could increase the civil war even more, it could make even more people immigrate and it will save the lives…

    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. In his speech President Obama stated,” Tyrants won’t think twice about using chemical weapons themselves unless we are to interfere.” It is important for us to take immediate action in order for Assad to understand that we are not playing games. If the U.S were to let the Syrian government abscond, there will be no doubt that he will try to do the same thing again with his people. 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.…

    There are four main levels of analysis Global, Interstate, Domestic, and Individual. A factor at the domestic level would be the Syrian crisis as a whole. There is a civil war going on in Syria between people with different political beliefs. The conflict is between those loyal to the government and those seeking oust it. Looking from a global level of analysis Syria has many terrorist groups that could break out and endanger Syria and the rest of the globe. Looking at Syria from an interstate level of analysis Syria boundaries are connected Lebanon Israel, Iraq, and Jordan. These are all Arabic stated but they all speak different languages and have a many different religious beliefs. Because of all these small countries are clustered on top of each other and none get along because off all the difference they have weather it religious or fighting for the rights of land that they once owned could lead to interstate wars like it already has. Looking from an Individual level of analysis power hungry and crazy leader Bashar al –Assad was ruthless towars the people of Syria not providing them with enough food or water to survive, leaving them with nothing, Syrians to try to attempt to overthrow him.…
