I am usually never aware of the
problems concerning foreign countries. Of course I heard about problems at
Syria for many days. But I honestly did not even bother to ask what was wrong.
Perhaps that is the problem of many Americans; we couldn’t care less about anything
outside of our own country. The problem with Syria is its corrupt government, which finally encountered people willing to go against it. The current problem in
Syria started with protests by the citizens, asking for a different government.
Obviously the government was unhappy with this and reacted in terrible ways.
This however, led to a civil war in Syria, a war that the government refuses to
lose. The government is so determined to win that it even began to use chemical
weapons. This action is what made the United States get involved. I don’t
believe anyone could possibly know the correct way to react to this situation,
not even President Obama. However, I do believe we should respect President
Obama for at least trying to do something to help Syria. In my opinion, the U.S should not
get involved. Starting problems with a foreign country can’t possibly lead to
any good. The United States needs to worry about fixing its own problems first,
before it tries to help anyone else. The United States needs to worry about its people first;
it needs to show what good “ruling” is really like. Once President Obama can
show what a good nation really looks like then he could lead by example. He could show the rest of the world there is no need for wars or violence in general. But until then he should completely focus on doing his job here at home and leave the rest of the world alone. I do realize there are people dying out there, and what we could do is pray that the problems in Syria will soon come to an end. I do hope everything in Syria works out fine.
