Pros And Cons Of The Syrian War

In syria there has been a war going on for the past 6 years. Throughout thoses 6 years family and kids have been driven from their homes. This conflict started when the syrian people and there goverment. From country and theri people involved.

In 2003, President George Walker Bush and his administration sent the United States military to war in Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein, Iraq’s ruler and dictator, who murdered over 600,000 innocent people, and “...used chemical weapons to remove Kurds from their villages in northern Iraq…” (Rosenberg 2). According to the Department of Defense’s website, the war removed Saddam Hussein from power, ending an era when “Iraqis had fewer rights than when its representatives signed the Human Rights Declaration in 1948” (1). American blood, money, and honor was spent in what was allegedly a personal war and perhaps a fight to gain oil and natural resources, but only history may reveal the truth. Although the Iraq War removed tyrant Saddam Hussein from power, the failures of the war dwarf the successes.

With a death toll in the hundred of thousands, and millions displaced, the Syrian civil war has become a violent mark on the world’s history. What started as a peaceful protest has spread over five years, has evolved into a war with a tyrannical government, a clashing rebellion, and terrorism fighting either side. But what is it that really fuels the immense amount of violence? It can be narrowed down to four groups that are obvious. The government and the rebels are the forerunners in violence in the war, sure, but they aren’t the only ones. There are the terrorist groups, with skewed views to support the destruction of people and things around them, and in itself the stark difference of the religions and ethnicities of Syria. Who causes

“a really, really tough case” that defies historical parallels. Foreign involvement in the Syrian Civil War refers to political, military and operational support to parties involved in the ongoing conflict in Syria that began in March 2011, as well as active foreign involvement. Most parties involved in the war in Syria receive various types of support from foreign countries and entities based outside Syria. The ongoing conflict in Syria is widely described as a series of overlapping wars between the regional and world powers, primarily between the U.S. and Russia as well as between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Destruction, violence, and chaos engulfs the lives of those in the Middle East, specifically in Syria. Since 2011 the country has been in disarray and consumed in a vicious civil war displacing millions of inhabitants of the region. Several countries have offered aid and asylum to these refugees, which raises the question: Should the United States (U.S.), a prominent world leader, allow Syrian refugees to seek asylum in their country? Several articles explore this question, including “Are Syrian Refugees Really a Security Risk? - Harvard Political Review”, “To Defeat ISIS, Know Thy Terrorist; Scorning Syrian refugees is doing ISIS a huge favor”, and “No vetting of Syrian "refugees" in Obama's "resettlement" invasion: the FBI says there is no way to vet incoming refugees and Senate and House chairmen blasted Obama for serious national security risks and economic costs of refugee policy”. The authors of the first and second article, Evan Bonsall and Kurt Eichenwald, argue that the refugees should be allowed asylum, while the author of the third article, William F. Jasper, argues against granting asylum. All of the authors employ complex rhetorical strategies including ethos, pathos, logos and other systems to explain their opinion and target their desired audiences.

So far, more than 1 out of 10 Syrians have been wounded or killed since the beginning of the war in 2011. “Syria’s civil war has created the worst humanitarian crisis of our time. Half the country's pre-war population — more than 11 million people — have been killed or forced to flee their

In Syria there has been massive battles between rebel forces and the governmental forces. The problem is that the rebel forces are split into multiple factions with different agendas. In some cases you have found that rebel forces may even be fighting one another. ISIS has even arose out of this chaos further weakening the rebels chances of overthrowing the government because it splits the agenda into even more smaller fragments. The results of this fragmentation are that Syria is now a shell of its former self. It is in a constant state of war and battle and prospects for the future are not looking

The Iraq War was one of the most controversial and expensive wars in the history of the United States, so expensive infact,that before the war, Iraq owed the United States four billion dollars, and after the war, the US owed Iraq over seven billion. The decision to go to war with Iraq was based off of the false intelligence that Iraq and Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, the United States entered Iraq to destroy these weapons, and remove Saddam Hussein from power. No weapons of mass destruction were ever found, therefore the US should have never declared war. Although the Iraq War eliminated the dictator Saddam Hussein from power, it cost the US exceedingly, in the well-being of the soldiers, in economics, and in foreign affairs.

Some experts are saying the Syrian civil war could continue into the year 2020, due to many reasons. These experts claim that civil wars tend to be longer when there is a presence of foreign countries. In the case of Syria the foreign countries that are helping, at the moment, are its neighbors. There is also the fact it doesn’t appear as if one side is getting ahead in the fight. This could also drag out the war over a very long time (Fisher, 2013). Overall, there seems to be no resolution to the Syrian conflict at this time. Only time will tell if one side, the Assad government or the rebels, will

The Iraq War, better known as the Second Gulf War was the war that saw Saddam Hussain toppled from power. It began on March 20th 2003 and finished 18 December 2011. It was a huge issue at the time and the contribution of Australia to the war was highly successful and acknowledged. In 1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait, a country south east of Iraq which led to the start of the First Gulf War.

Syria is currently all over the news regarding what many have to come to see as a civil war. A term like civil war needs to identify the players and the reasons for the war. In this case the players are being identified as pro government or antigovernment with a Sunni or Shia overtone. Sunni and Shia are the two major sects of Islam and both have a historical based conflict going back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad and how Muslims should be governed. This conflict has caused tensions and violence to flare up throughout Islamic history. This conflict has carried into modern times and has becoming a rallying point for Muslim people calling for change with their government and across the Middle Eastern region. The

I'm sick of Racial profiling in this country, America and many other countries. How can the government talk about bombing Syria when it is not the country that has done wrong it is the minority that have chosen to operate from said country. Another thing is how people see Muslims as the people in the wrong just because Muslim extremists are the ones causing problems in the world right now. One of my closest family friends is a Muslim and in now way because of him being one means that he wants to murder and kill anyone that doesn't believe in the same things as him. There are Muslim doctors saving lives, taxi drivers, public servants I could go on. My point is stop profiling people on their religion when in truth they have not done anything

Since the beginning of 2011, the intensifying conflict and associated stress has had a growing impact on women and girls, forcing large numbers of them to flee to neighboring countries for fear of rape and sexual violence. Moreover, the situation in the country has deteriorated significantly with active hostilities raging between the Government forces and Shabbiha (militia pro government forces) on one hand and anti-Government armed groups on the other. Furthermore, there is aggressive violence and unrest between the Syrian opposition, Free Syrian Army, and foreign-armed militias, Jabat Al-Nusra and Islamic State of the Iraqi and the Levant (ISIL). The perpetuation of violence by both government forces and Al-Qaeda linked groups against

A power vacuum exists in the region, with ISIS (aka Islamic State of Iraq and Levant), Al-Nusra, and Kurds all battling for control in Syria. ISIS, which now owns the largest portion of Syria, took advantage of the power

Syrian civil war started in 2011 was the outcome of the opposition against the President Bashar al-Assad regime. The uprising emerged as a response to the Arab spring movement that lead to regime change in Tunisia and subsequently turned into mass unrest rooted into the discontent with long-term dictatorship and poor economic situation in the country (Manfreda, n.d.). The number of Syrian citizens killed in the civil war reached 140000 since March 2011 (SBS 2014). The European Commission (2014, 2) reports approximately 9.3 million civilians “in need for humanitarian assistance”. The scale of armed rebellion between government and opposition that lead to an increasing number of casualties among civilians did not remain unnoticed by the
