How Obama came to launch strikes in Syria
Yesterday the United States began air strikes on the terrorist group named ISIS in Syria. Already were there air strikes in Iraq against ISIS but Obama wants to neutralize them on multiple fronts. The Presidents decision came after consent of congress and also support from other Arab nations. Along with the increased air strikes and also air strikes in Syria Obama reported that he launched an air strike against another terrorist group that stemmed from al-qaeda.
Obama has taken on a world stage to take on ISIS with support from other nations. Around fifty nations have rallied support for Obama and the fight against ISIS. He has called for a meeting with the UN to discuss this issue.
Obviously there have been a lot of posts and comments on the subject of ISIS and I though I would weigh in as well seeing that it has now escalated. I agree with Obama and the actions he is taking. I honestly think what he has done so far has been great handling of foreign policy and the situation at hand. ISIS is a terrorist group who has called out serious, dangerous, and very real threats against America and its people. The threat has to be neutralized. The main problem and question that arises is should America delve deep into this issue in the Middle East? I think in our past experiences and problems that we encountered and caused in the Middle East and particularly Iraq we do hold somewhat of a responsibility to the people there. I do think we should keep an appropriate distance and take logical steps so that we don't get stuck further in the Middle East and also that we don't hurt the nations there and make them less self sufficient.
