The World's "Cop" aka the United States

Over the past two to three years the Syrian Government has been in a Civil War with the rebels over freedom and rights. The rebels are trying to overthrow the person they voted into office a few years earlier, President Bashar al-Assad. With the uprising of the Syrian Civil War and the use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad the United States is put in another tough position on whether we should take military action against President al-Assad and his regime.

 

 The only problem about this is that NOBODY else will take action unless the United States jumps right in. France has said they will get in the fight only is the United States takes action and England doesn’t agree with getting involved at all. This is just another situation where the United States must be the world’s “cop”. It always seems as if the U.S must jump into every conflict that happens overseas and there is never really any reason for us to get involved. Yes, it’s terrible that the Syrian Army is killing innocent people but why do we have to be the guys to go in and resolve their issues? With our debt already and with the Iraqi war coming to an end, there is no reason to go in unless it threatens the likelihood of the American people. Also, even if Congress denies the attack on Syria, President Obama still has the right to attack on his own behalf being that he is the Commander-in-Chief. Not only is this wrong but immoral. The entire fate of this attack really depends on one man and that man is Barack Obama. It will just deepen our debt crisis and may even put the American people at risk for danger.

 

                With this said there has been some resolutions thought about by not only the United States but also the Russians. Russia has said that there’s a chance that Syria will hand over all of its chemical weapons to the U.N thus hopefully ending all of the chaos and killing of innocent men, women, and children. But can we really trust the Russians?

 

The reason I say this is because there has been some tension between President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Even though this is for the good of the world, are they only trying to pull a quick on the United States and the world to make them look better and more “powerful and influential”. The only thing I can say is we all have to sit on the edge of our seats waiting to see what happens. Will Syria follow through with handing over their chemical weapons? Will Congress reject or approve the attack on Syria? And the biggest question there might be is how long it will take before all of this settles down? One month? Six months? A year? Time will tell and hopefully this all gets sorted out in a timely manner and this all gets resolved as quick and clean as possible.
