Why so Syria?

What is the United States' job exactly? Are they expected to police and patrol the globe by some people? Our laws only apply to our boarders and people need to realized that. When faced with the question as to if we should get involved with Syria, I believe we should not get involved in international affairs right now. It's a civil uprising for a reason, and the civilians should be the ones involved. To interfere with another country that we have no relation to, and also effect feelings towards our current allies seems pretty ridiculous if you ask me. I love the idea of a democracy, but it does not fit everywhere and settle with people's belief. If these revolutions expect to be successful I feel they will have to be done so alone. I'm curious as to why we're so serious on the issue of Syria.

Our country was built on its "due it yourself" attitude, former during our revolutionary days way back in 1776. Of course ammo was provided, but I feel that the reason the victory was so successful was because people that fought in it had such a just cause that they wanted to fight strongly for. I don't understand how our involvement in another countries revolution will help us or them. If we we're to help them we'd receive even more resentment from foreign countries sparking hatred towards the United States. It will effect them because if we do help them, how will the know how to run the country and make decisions without the guidance of the United States. These random uprisings are a good thing in my eyes, for there is nothing wrong with fighting for something you want to change. It's always good to see us trying to continue this world and make it a better place for us and our kids. The US getting involved in Syria would bring no sort of peace and only help destroy the world. If the rebels dont stand for something, they'll fall for anything. They need to realized how much they want it and to form a plan, similar to the patriots of the revolutionary war.


The symbol for the United States is a bald eagle right? Then we do some people believe we're suppose to be robo cop. Half the resentment towards us comes from us thinking we're so great, and the people who believe it is a good idea to help Syria, you have the right idea, but will only cause more tension with other people. We make all these mandates to mind our own business while not getting involved with others, here we are doing the exact opposite. We have so many problems as a country right now that the last thing we need is another conflict. It's funny to me because the people that would say to go into Syria, are the same people complaining about violence and war. Doing the right thing in hindsight isn't always the best route to take. Most problems will be fixed themselves, so why involve a 3rd person party that does not understand the situation first hand. There is nothing to be gained from helping Syria, and I believe this country should be ran like a business. Some people are offended by that but we have to understand if we want to get back on top of things on a global scale, we need to start making smarter conditions. I believe these revolutions happen for a reason and the US intervening ruin what was meant to be.

  1. Stephen,

    Good article, but I want to see more facts to back up your claims. You have the right language. It is strong, powerful, and well-written. But what facts can you research and use to stand up with your strong language? That's what you need to add to this. Otherwise, it's just opinion. Facts will make it credible analysis.

    Also, I'd like you to strengthen your opposition paragraph. Your sprinkle in their points here and there, but there is no one, solid paragraph to challenge with your analysis.

    Great writing. Just add the research and you'll be unstoppable.
