No Military Invasion of Syria

Everyone knows that Obama is now adding military option against Syria if the conflict does not resolve or President Assad does not step down.  

President Obama is not thinking about this and he is acting very similar to President Bush.  Many of you will think that this is not similar to President Bush invading Iraq, but it is. 

I do not think that we have the right to intervene into the Civil War of another nation.  Anyways, if we help these rebels (militarily( who is to say they will not turn on us once like many of Shiite Muslims in Iraq.  However, not all of them have turned on us, but definitely the radical side of them that has a similar outlook to the rulers of Iran.  President Obama and Democrats in the end did not support the invasion of Iraq and criticize Bush for the war.  However, they all think that it is okay to invade Syria.

The situation in Syria is worse then the one in Iraq in 2003.  The reasons why:

1. It is a Civil War between a group of people (rebels) and the government.  The rebels are tired of the government they view as tyrannical.  They say they want more rights, but who knows it could be like Egypt in the future where it actually gets more strict, but under Sunni rule.
2. Yes, the conflict may be causing mass amounts of refugees, but in what war has there been no refugees?  Yes, countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and other countries are having problems with refugees, but that is nothing new when it comes to war.  Those people are the ones that deserve to have food and aid.  On the other hand, the rebels are violent and once again we do not know if they will turn on us once they have won the war.
3. Russia and China have valuable reasons for other countries not to invade into the Syrian conflict and they could pose big problems to the U.S. if we decide to invade.  Furthermore, Russian troops (minimal) are already on ground in Syria, helping President Assad gain control over Syria again. If we invade to help the rebels we will be fighting a proxy war with the Russian military.  That will make relations with the Russians even worse.  I guess we could use Syria as a means of getting back in China for causing that conflict with Japan, but still not wise to invade.

Once again are dear President and Congress is going to refuse to listen to the American people.  He refused to listen on the Healthcare Bill and now he is not going to listen to the American people again.  We should stay out of it all together and not make the decision to join a side.  Right now no one knows who is the lesser of two evils. In the end, it looks like Obama wants to support rebels who eat soldiers hearts to send a message.  

Syrian Violence

Syria is in turmoil. Thousands of people are opposing President Bashar al-Assad. Less than a thousand have died (Syria will not be completely honest about it). However, I want to say that the United States should do something about it or other nations. There is a problem and it is AL-Qaeda and the Jordianian Muslim Brotherhood. They support the uprising and that is bad because we are have an issue with Al-Qaeda, right now I do not know of the relation with the Muslim Brotherhood (might not be good because of Egypt). Anyways, Al-Qaeda totally supports the sectarian violence in Syria. That surprises me because they have not been the most humane or freedom of choice kind of type. I believe that the US should do something, but i do not know what it is yet. They need to see why Al-Qaeda supports it, what are the benefits for them.

Syria's president needs to begin making compromises because pretty soon a powerful nation might just invade and do something about his tactics against his people. He shouldn't even be called a president, he should be called a dictator.

Message: Russia and China you have a terrible history with using violence on your people to get them to shut up. Of course you support Syria and you will do it. You do not want a tribunal to be held against President al-Assad because people would begin to question the methods both of you have used in the past. You do not make your country look any better by opposing any sort of resolution to deal with this issue.

I guess the US might have to try to see if it can be solved diplomatically through peace talks, but who knows if that is going to work.

Iranian Journalists

I do not think that the Iran will ever stop arresting its journalists in the country. Goodness they are cracking down on freedom of the press in the country. Usually it is to stop people from broadcasting all the evil that is happening in the country. They keep arresting people, that is what happens in an authoritarian government.

They love to suppress the people because if they know that it gets out what they are doing to the people then they will need to be held accountable. In Iran they torture people and whip people in the jails. I think that something needs to be done about Iran. The people can leave the country if they want, but sometimes it is hard to get out of the country. Especially, if they want to keep watch of you to make sure that you do not try to get them in international trouble.

Most of the journalists that get arrested is because they are reformists and/or they are speaking out against the atrocities of the police and the government.

I pray that the people continue to battle it out with the government and they do not give up. The articles that I have provided you state what is going on in Iran right now. They arrest the most journalists in the world. They are trying to crackdown on journalists because of speaking out against the government. Also they are arresting human rights lawyers. They usually defend the journalists in कोर्ट

Pakistan

I am kind of disappointed with the US at the moment. I think that we should have probably consulted Pakistan before we raided his hideout. How would we feel if another country suspected a terrorist hiding out in the US and conducted a raid without our approval. Right now the government is not thinking at all or they were not thinking at all. I understand that they found proof that he was there and I am all up for getting the guy. However, the US is just not doing the right thing. They are lying to the Pakistan government and not communicating to them.

The US needs to start thinking about the relationships that we have with other countries. Especially Pakistan, we had great relationships with them until we started letting the drones in and now we conduct a raid without them approving. If someone did that to us we would be angry and tell them that they had no right.

WHO ARE WE TO JUST WALTZ INTO ANOTHER COUNTRY? Just because we are the US does not mean that we have that right, there is a reason why so many may hate us. We do stupid things like that. We could have let Pakistan know that we would like to conduct a raid and then bargain with them. IF they want something from the US, we would do our best job to meet those needs so that we could have gotten Osama

I think that it is great that we got the guy. However, THE END RESULTS DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS!!! We have absolutely no right to do that because we would not like it at all

The worst part about this is that Obama issued that special forces were given the order to fire at Pakistan police or military if they met any opposition. That is so wrong, I would think that Pakistan has a right to fire because you just came into their country illegally. For a country that is suppose to be helping human rights, we sure are destroying them. Pakistan has the right to shoot if they please, Obama you cannot just walk into your country thinking that you have privileges.

I love the US, it is my country. However, we are wrong in how we got Osama, that is just the end of the story. Pakistan has every right to be upset with us.


PS I know that the US has been doing it for awhile. However, i think that I have the right to get a little upset and I know that it will happen again
