Civil War in Syria Raises Questions About When to Intervene.
         In the article they talk about the intensity of the fighting that has accompanied the Syrian civil war. It’s making it dangerous for many civilians to remain in their homes.
         The United Nation High Commissioner for Refugges (UNHCR) estimates that over 200,000 people have fled their homes for calmer parts of Syria or neighboring countries such a Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. While countries accept refugges, they have limited resources to care for another population. The continuing voilence in Syria had led to many to choose to flee their homes. The camps are only a temporary solution for refugges, but the international community is unsure of what to do next. The fighting and violence in Syria is between the military loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and anti-regime protest fighters. Both rebel fighters and government troops have occupied the Syrian capital.
         I think that the violence needs to stop and it needs to stop now! This isn’t good at all and people shouldn’t have to be leaving their homes and family for things like this. They should be able to be home and feel safe.
         This reminds me of a news article I was reading not to long ago about violence and fighting.
         This article make me think more about our country and the things that are going on and how we have to be careful and be aware at all times.
         The question that still remains is Should the U.S intervene? When will this stop?

  1. Make sure that when you include words from the article, you put those words in quotes. With this post, you have done some good work summarizing and including details from the article, but you don't have enough of your own opinions and commentary.

    Do you think the US should intervene? When should, if ever, the US get involved with other countries? 80
