We all know about the trouble going on in Syria. If you don't know, let me give you a summation of the situation. Basically, the Syrian government has launched attacks on alleged places where the Taliban have been hiding. One of the most recent attacks was a bombing on a school full of innocent children. And now there is talk about Syria having chemical weapons and planning on using them for we don't know what yet. Now, the United States are faced with the dilemma on whether to interfere in Syria or let them figure out what they need to do. So far, President Obama has made it clear that he wants to stop a chemical war before it starts by attacking Syria.
At first I didn't know all of this information, but, after some research, I took a side. I do not think the United States should get involved in Syria. I say this because we have no business in going there. One of the main reasons why we are trying to get involved is because if there is going to be a chemical war happen, and Syria starting it, Israel is in the line of fire. Now, the United States is allied with Israel along with like one other country. So, the only reason that is clear to me that we might get involved is because of Israel. The United States has sworn to protect Israel, but not by bombing another nation.
I was at services the other day, and one of the Rabbis was giving a sermon about loving your neighbor as yourself. But the point he was trying to make was that we should get involved in Syria. But the thing is, Syria isn't our neighbor. I really don't think bombing our neighbor isn't exactly loving them like we love our self. But if we do bomb them, what then? Is Syria just going to give up? NO! They will just retaliate on more innocent people and take more lives than need to be taken. Then Russia will get involved and then we are all screwed! We shouldn't make peace with violence. That's an oxymoron within itself. What America should do is try and fix our own problems and not focus on someone else's. And once we have our own priorities in order, then we can help other people in other countries.
