F CHARLIE Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Many of you know what has been happening in Syria but you may not have heard the most recent news. In an act of desperation, the anti-Assad forces have allowed Alqaeda in to fight on thier side seeing as no one else would come and help. The West must now become engaged and similtanously help the oposition as well as removing Alqaeda feom the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddingkip Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Wasn't Al-Qeada involved for longer? I'm pretty sure 3 boys from my city (1 from my school) went to Syria to fight for Al-Qeada and 2 of them died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F CHARLIE Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 The amount I care about things that don't effect me is minimal. It does. Regardless of whether Assad is overthrown or not, Alqaeda has found a new base of operations. They have already began taking control of the oposition in part. In the end winning the war against Assad is less important to Alqaeda than having a new base from which to draw recruits and gather resources. The new resources will allow them to execute thier larger goals of international terroriizm. Eventually the West will have to enter Syria to remove the threat but by then nation will have been ravaged by conflict between Hezbollah, now working for Assad, and Alqaeda. It will be much more costly and be a far less succesfull rebuilding process than if the West had acted two months ago or even now. So yes, these things effect everyone.

Pyrocide Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I cared what happened over there (in the Middle East as a whole) when my brother was in firefights day in and day out. But since then, he and my friends have returned and now its just one big blur together of rebels fighting militants and I stopped caring. Part of me says let em destroy one another and in the end they will see it was pointless loss of life. The other says help them fight oppression, but that would involve us in an already illegitimate war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F CHARLIE Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 How do all of you feel about the proposed strike in order to limit/dismantle Assad's ability to use chemical weapons in the wake of his most recent usage? Before you respond, consider this, chemical weapons have been internationally banned since 1899. There use in WW1 solidified the need for this ban. Even Hitler did not chemical weapons and none were used on the battlefield in WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeird Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 America should be using the money for America rather than using it to fund another war we don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4th Harbringer Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I dunno, I've never personally been the type of person who can ignore or be apathetic about conflicts of this scale. Glad to see I'm not the only one like that. My only concern is whether or not the US should be involved. On one hand, our "valiant leader" told the world we'd intervene for a while now, so if we back down (which is looking likely to happen) we look like chickenshits. And, people are dying. On the other, this is like Iraq 4.0; and whether we enter the war or not, people will die anyways. So I'm split. If the US wanted to mend things they should have joined the conflict 2 years ago, not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop sounding so much like a business man and less like a politician. Besides, i think its a good idea to arm the rebels; i mean it wouldn't be fair if, 5-10 years down the road, they had to fight us without weapons.

puddingkip Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yay. It's now clear that the U.S.A. has no proof Assad did the chemical attack, which isn't surprising at all. Assad wouldn't benefit from the attack, he'd be attacked foreign nations and most likely killed. The rebels had so much to gain from a chemical attack. The man they're fighting would be overthrown, and they would get the power. I hope America doesn't intervene. Not because I like Assad, I really dislike him and he's a bastard. Sadly the rebels are worse. So leaving him saves money, people and a lot of trouble. Let them fight out themselves. I feel bad for the normal Syrian, but the only thing "we" can do is support the refugees and build good camps. We should NOT give the rebels weapons, as we don't know who we are giving them to. The CIA already once gave weapons to a certain man called Osama Bin Laden to fight the Russians. That didn't really go well. Until the Jihadists are gone from the rebel army, no support for the rebels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
