Syria

Syria is only a 67 year old country with more problems than we could even dream of. They are currently in a Civil War involving Israel. The U.S. is deciding on wether they should intervene or not. It all started when Syrian protestors decided to protest against their ruler, Assad. Syrians’ were not happy with how their country was being run so they were protesting against it. The government was furious about the protest and began torturing, kidnapping and opening fire on the protestors and civilians, including women and children. The government began using military force against their people destroying neighborhoods and whole towns. This is a war crime which means the U.S. does have a right to intervene. In my opinion, this is horrible. I do not like the fact that they are killing and torturing children but we should mind our own business. We have enough to worry about with our own country and do not need to be involved in another countries issues. If we do decide to send our troops into Syria, Russia and China will back up Syria. This insinuates that if we do strike against the Syrian government, China and Russia will strike against us. We do not need to waste our countries money and put our soldiers in danger for a war that can not be won. Especially with China and Russia, two world powers, planning to fight against us. This is some information and my opinions on this current event.
