Whether to intervene in Syria is a debated topic in the United States. Furthermore, there is also a debate whether we should intervene in Syria militarily or economically, but it is not easy to determine which is right. Economic InterventionIt is recommended to intervene in Syria economically because Bashar al-Assad is violent that such a leader has to be removed from 'assignment. Al-Assad's army has exercised extreme violence, for example by creating a "game" for snipers. When there is an attack on rebel groups, “Syrian snipers play a 'war game' in which they target the fetuses of pregnant women to win packs of cigarettes” (Heffer). The affected women survived, but the fetuses died instantly, which is not only cruel but also causes pain. This shows that the violence in Syria is so extreme that it must be stopped, which means that intervention is necessary. Furthermore, according to document 1, if we intervened in Syria, “our moral position would increase” and “we have our moral responsibility”. to protect the innocent” (Khan). This shows that if we intervene in Syria, we will be proud of ourselves and other nations' perception of us will be better. Furthermore, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the use of lethal force by Al-Assad's security forces 'unacceptable' forces” (Lee). This shows that there must be action against Al-Assad's security forces, otherwise there will be consequences. Furthermore, according to Document 5, more than half of people responded that Syria's use of chemical weapons is a threat to the United States (American Views on Intervention in Syria). This shows that such threats need to be removed, which shows that intervention is necessary. As an intervention, we will ask other countries not to do so...... middle of paper ......2013Khan, Sabith.
