Dear classmates and professor, as it is well known, there has been a terrible conflict in all

Middle East for many decades. But today we are going to talk about the Syrian Civil War that
has been taking place during the past six years. More specifically about the U.S. Military
intervention in Syria. At the beginning, U.S. first took part in the conflict because of the use of
chemical weapons in 2013 from the part of Bashad al-Assad, the current president since he
was reelected in 2011. This event caused the death of many women, children, and innocent
people that were involved in the middle of this war.
Taking into consideration the experience lived in Iraq and its loses in Vietnam, we are aware
that the military interference of the United States had not been able to solve the political
issues of others countries and that is why we believe that the U.S. should stay aside from
this conflict and not involve the military force, despite its "good will".
Can killing innocents do any good for a society? If you agree with us on saying no, then we
agree on that if the U.S. military force continues getting even more involved, instead of doing
any good to the Syrian civilians, the suffering will only increase, worsening the refugee crisis.
Besides, not only are the syrian civilians getting directly affected, but Russia is on the
process of developing anti-missiles systems against U.S. after an errant American airstrike
killed 60 syrian soldiers, breaking the ceasefire that both countries had negotiated
previously. Unfortunately, now that these countries are no longer in peace, there is a risk that
this military conflict might provoke a larger conflict between these two nuclear powers.
When Obama was the president of U.S. he supported the rebels because of the way
president Assad was controlling the population by oppressing them with brutal force. People
must have the right to defend themselves, at least that is what U.S. government believes.
Now, I believe we all remember that, at first, Obama trained the rebel forces; hence, the
presence of the U.S. army was low. Nonetheless, in 2016, when Trump won the election for
the White House, the U.S. started to increase its presence in the Middle East. During 2013,
the president Assad launched chemical weapons against its own people. Then, when the
attack was repeated in 2017, the White House launched dozens of tomahawks (water-earth
missiles) destroying air bases in Syria. This is the first time the U.S. directly attacked the
Assad regime. No other country had done something like that before, not even Russia, that
have been quite distant in comparison.
The latest events have changed the rules in this war. The U.S. has unleashed a potential
World War II, in a place far from its own territory. They believe on freedom but they do not let
other countries take its own path, making their own choices, maybe failing if they have to,
but at the end being free as they deserve.
Finally, our dear classmates, we would like to restate that the United States should not keep
getting involved in the Syrian conflict since it is not their duty and there are plenty of major
issues in their own country which they should prioritize, like education, economy or crime. If
this situation continues, the only faith we can expect for this nation is to be destroyed, either
physically due to a nuclear bomb or because of the loss of its peoples spirit and hope.
