The issue between ISIS and their allies as well as the United States and their allies is a tough issue to master. Obviously, people want to see the most minimal amount of casualties as possible. On the other hand, the United States and their allies want to see this group of extremist stopped from their dangerous measures. Because of this feel of urgency when it comes to destroying these extremists, some think the fastest way is to send in an army, but yet they do not want casualties. The other issue that the United States has to face when dealing with this issue, is vengeance. ISIS and their allies have vowed to bring America and their allies to their knees, this is not something that American can take lightly. These groups have proven …show more content…
Though it was a very small step in the right direction, it does not represent a grand strategy”(Rogers, CNN). Special forces are a good first step but more needs to happen, just another example why this solution is the best of both worlds. This solution hand picks the benefits of both extremes and constructs a plan that will not see failure. Arming rebels to fight an enemy of the United States has backfired in the past. Because of this, when it comes to attempting to convince the the surrounding countries around Syria to comply, the last resort is offering weapons. The initial hope is that these countries will simply want to do whatever they can to stop ISIS, because of the the threat that ISIS poses to their neighboring countries. ISIS does pose a threat to everyone, especially their neighbors. However, simply because of this threat, it is not for sure that they will join the fight and adhere to this solution without any rewards. The United States needs to convince these countries of their importance, make them understand that the United States cannot accomplish what needs to be done without their help. Making them fell important is the first step. Next when establishing military bases near Syria in these countries, the bases are not just to be created for military reason but as well as aide and harboring refugees, all while under the control of the United State Military. Step two
America is torn betwixt the dispatchment of American ground troops to fight the terrorist group Isis. The Isis ideology and vision consists of the restoration of the caliphate of early Islam and pledging allegiance to it. Isis regards to maintain the purification of Islamic society, they must fight non-Muslim countries. This desire of a pure Islamic society has precipitated harm on several non-Muslim countries, and even on their own country. The American government is considering sending our ground troops to fight Isis, however, the negatives to sending ground troops to fight Isis are monumental.
On the other hand, a U.S. military intervention is unlikely to happen since the U.S. cannot afford, politically or economically, an unsecured contribution to the Syrian war for an unpredictable period of time, especially after Obama’s foreign policy has been focused on ending all military involvements in Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S. army hasn’t seemed to rest from the wounds of the two major past war, and veteran families were promised that military interventions will end, which makes the issue of intervention in Syria even more complicated for the U.S.
In recent months, the United States accompanied with several allies have been forging a fight against ISIS in Iraqi and Syria. The allied troops have been extremely successful in wreaking havoc against the enemy–killing ISIS fighters, reducing ISIS cash flow, and causing the group to abandon a large portion of their controlled areas. There are approximately 5,000 American troops at any given time in these territories and President Obama wants and intends to deploy more. The United States should not send more troops to fight against ISIS because, we were just involved in the Iraqi War, home soil will be left vulnerable, and intervening doesn't always lead to benefit.
I believe that the United States should use other military forces from other countries to help eliminate ISIS because not only are they becoming a serious problem, but the youth from many countries are leaving home and/or disappearing because they feel the need to help in this movement, and in reality they have no idea what they are signing themselves up for. So in turn the United States should turn to these other countries for help, in the best way
While the United States has taken some action to deal with this pressing issue, it has not been enough thus far. According to the Journal of Strategic Security, specializing in the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism, point out that military launches through air strikes have managed to lessen ISIS’s control in Iraq and Syria by de-financing the group through limiting their use access oil. However, this alone has not and will not stop the functioning of ISIS. The Journal of Strategic Security expresses that while the military movement was a good effort, ISIS has plans “to expand its support base and intensify its attacks outside of Iraq and Syria.” Simply putting restrictions on ISIS is not enough, just as attacking from the air is counter productive and causing more damage rather than removing ISIS. Likewise, the Journal of Strategic Security continues to discuss that ISIS has a solid group of foreign fights worldwide that are disposable and able to be controlled easily. This leaves room for continual attacks and replenishment of members. Thus, it is imperative that the United States use ground troops to eradicate
As you know, ISIS has been causing a lot of mayhem around the world lately becoming a deadly terrorist group killing innocent people. Many people & politicians are encouraging for us Americans to stay out of the fight because they’re afraid of ISIS or they don’t want to become a huge target for ISIS. Isis is a very dangerous group that will continue to expand & become even more deadly if we don’t put a stop to it now. We need to send troops to Iraq & Syria where the headquarters of ISIS is stable & we need to take over & let them know we will not take this & that we are indeed the most powerful nation.
By working together with neighboring countries (Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia...etc) we can try and contain ISIS without using violence. If the United States spent as much effort working for diplomacy instead of war we would have peaceful containment in no time. After looking at the diagram “Untangling the Middle East” from theglobeandmail.com the Islamic State has hostile relationships with everyone. Meaning nobody is really for ISIS except ISIS. By cooperating with neighboring countries and working on relations with Syria and Russia the United States could get many different ideas on how to defeat ISIS with nonviolent tactics. Partnering with all these countries who have strong military will show ISIS what they are against. Having political ideas from several different countries will help to defeat ISIS.”Scientific surveys of Iraqi deaths resulting from the first four years of the Iraq War found that between 151,000 to over one million Iraqis died as a result of conflict during this time. A later study, published in 2011, found that approximately 500,000” (Wikipedia). This just goes to show how many people can be hurt by using military options. If countries worked together we could stop the military madness and bring peace without violence through the power of knowledge, and numbers of
ISIS is an unquestionably dangerous and potentially irrational force that needs to be migrated someway. Others may conclude ISIS is not extremely powerful, so why is military intervention needed? Just because ISIS is not extremely powerful now does not mean they won't be someday. A good and accurate example of that is the NAZIs. Yes, the Nazis killed way many more, but just give ISIS time and opportunity; perhaps they'd compete.
Our question concerning ISIS, illustrates a plan on what should be done about them and by whom. As stated previous, instead of counterterrorism and lying low, troops should be put on the grounds to finally control and help stop what the Islamic State have being doing for two years. With realism, it challenges us to have the primary goal of survival. We ought to conquer and be the last to survive. With that being said, States can never be certain about others’ intention, in this case ISIS’s. We will never know when they will attack unless we take control of the situation and take them over. We have the power to take out ISIS and should do it soon while we have time before the next 9-11 happens. At the end of the day we need to realize innocent people are being taken advantage and ISIS is going after the weak. They have no moral believes and will do anything to make a names for themselves like performing suicide missions, blowing up state capitals and highly populated areas. The Islamic State needs to be stop and the United States needs to come in sense with other nation-states to stop this nonsense once and for
Terror groups such as ISIS and Al Qaeda have struck fear deep into the hearts of many Americans. Fear that has turned into hate and ignorance among these same people because they believe that the acts of less than one percent of an entire population have somehow translated onto the other ninety-nine percent. It is this same fear that spreads hurtful messages around the internet:
In December of 2011, the United States withdrew all remaining combat troops from Iraq. After eight years of war, the United States turned the responsibility for the defense of Iraq over to the Iraqi security forces. Iraq immediately saw the rise of sectarian violence among Sunnis and Shia. This nation also saw the reemergence of the insurgency known as Al Qaeda in Iraq in the northwest portion of the country. The problems in Iraq grew with the igniting of a civil war in the neighboring nation of Syria. This civil war allowed for members of Al-Qaeda in Iraq to spread to and develop in an unstable area and emerging as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, ISIS. Within twelve months, ISIS grew by creating of an organizational structure, engaging in violent military campaigns, developing an economy and establishing successful recruitment techniques. ISIS now controls large swaths of territory in both northwest Iraq and Eastern Syria. Political leadership in the United States is now debating what action should be taken to combat the terror group ISIS. To prevent ISIS from harming our national security, to stop the threat of international terrorism and to stop the destruction of Iraq and its people The United States should send ground troops to Iraq to combat ISIS.
The current struggle relates to all of the topics of committee 1. These things reflect the religious and ethnic persecution due to the fact that this topic causes most of the violence and danger throughout the world peace committee. These factors include drone warfare, cyber warfare, and terrorism due to these religious conflicts. The religious conflicts cause numerous problems that deal with ongoing ISIS crisis, as this terrorist group has spread throughout Libya, Egypt, and are trying to spread their religious group in a negative way. This is causing the corruption throughout Asia, and Africa, and this will change the religion problem and the ethnic tensions between religion and races. This usually focuses on Muslim
Since 2011, the United-States of America has supported the Syrian revolution against the tyrannical government led by Bashar Al-Assad. However, the Russian government, led by Vladimir Putin, has supported Assad’s government. Since then, a forth independent actor has got involved. ISIS is a terrorist organisation mainly interested in gaining power and territory. Recently, the tensions around the Syrian conflict have increased but any country is physically present on Syrian ground. The United-States does not want to deploy troops on the ground, therefore they have emplaced a few sanctions and conducted airstrikes in Syria. However, there have been discords about what the US should do. Thus I will analyse and propose several viewpoints and
War and conflict have raged in Southeast and Central Asia for centuries due to civil unrest and political instability. The rise of the Taliban and other militant insurgencies have escalated the dangers and unpredictability of an already unstable government in Afghanistan. The agenda of these jihadist extremists is the takeover of the Afghan and Pakistan governments in favor of the more stringent Islamic ways of the Taliban, and the destruction of anyone who opposes them. These groups, professing to do the work of God, are perpetrating a coarse and distorted interpretation of Islam and the Quran. Violent acts that have been committed by insurgents, include crimes against humanity, acts of terrorism, murder, suicide bombings, and
ISIL is a huge problem already and responsible for human rights abuses and war crimes. The US, until now has sent only airstrikes to devastate ISIL. While this has suppressed the problem, it has not pushed ISIL back. If ISIL is not pushed back, it will surely become an even larger problem for not only the Middle East but also to Western countries as well. It poses a moral threat to the United States’ ideals of liberty and justice, which are perfect grounds for the United States to send ground troops to fight it.
