Syria Wants U.S. To Mind Their Business

"Civil War in Syria Raises Questions About when To Intervene" written by Ja'anai Delaney is about the war that is currently happening in Syria and if the U.S. should step in. The war in Syria is within the country, protest fighters against their president Assad.

They are fighting because they would like to kick Assad out of office and establish a democracy in Syria. The U.S. does not want to intervene for it may escalate into something bigger, killing more people than need be. But the U.S. will intervene if Assad uses chemical weapons.


The article contains quotes about what’s happening right now in Syria and quotes by secretary of state Hilary Clinton. Hilary Clinton is talking on the U.S. getting involved in the Syria War.

The Syria war is taking place in Aleppo. Since the war "major civilization massacres" as Ja'anai Delaney calls it has been happening in the towns of Homs, Houla and Darayya.

Assad warns the U.S. that if they got involved they will drop chemical and biological weapons on us and its own people.

I think the whole war is reasonable; they want a better government over in Syria and will fight to get it. I agree with the U.S. policy they want to protect their people and the civilians of Syria. They don't want to make it a blood bath when it doesn't have to be.

I can connect this to when U.S. had a war with Iraq. They spent all that money and all that time on the war when it could have went to something else. So now they make sure that if they have a war it’s for a reasonable reason.
