Civil War in Syria Raises Questions About When to Intervene By Ja'anai Delaney for NewsHour Extra
The main idea of this blog is that there is a big debate currently going on about the civil war in Syria. This debate is questioning rather should the U.S intervene or not and there are many reasons to intervene but there are just as many reasons not to intervene.
Details or evidence I have about the article is as the writer is describing the fighting as intense and is saying that the United Nations High Comissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that over 200,00 people have fled their homes just because of the intensity of the war letting you know that this war could actually be dangerous. Another peice of evidence I have is when Syria said if the U.S gets involved they will use biological weapons. But one thing is for sure, The U.S armed forces has promised that they will only intervene if the government uses chemical weapons on there on citizens but until then if that ever does happen the U.S is being very cautious with what they're doing because one slip up and they could be fighting Syria and every other country against the U.S.
In my opinion I think the U.S should just keep doing what they're doing and staying out of the way and come in right when the government decides to fight dirty because as the article says the rebellion army is just a group of untrained men with ak47's while the government has access to advanced weaponry and vehicles.
There's never a connection for me to make to the topic of war.
I have 2 questions however. 1) Why can't the U.S assist Syria but there's terroist groups like Al-Quaeda involved in the war right now? and 2) Why is the president of Syria being so unfair?

Good post. Do you think the US should step in if Assad starts slaughtering innocent people again? 95
