I love to blog now. I love to talk and write about things anyway so blogging is good for me. I recently posted how I felt about our country intervening in Syria on another page. One of my friends asked me, "are you not afraid of government retaliation?" I have to say absolutely not. We have certain freedoms and freedom of speech is one of them. I have to right to express my opinion. The things I put on my Facebook blog page a usually controversial or educational. I really express myself and sometimes say things that other people think but will never voice publicly.
After doing some research I found that the Syria thing is mainly over a treaty we have with the UN. We have to uphold it against anyone that uses dirty war tactics. Gas and dirty bombs are a big NO, NO on their agenda. The USA being a police state has to intervene and give Syria a slap on the wrist. About 1000 people were subjected to the gas by the Syrian government but daily that same government kills 1000 people daily and nothing is done about it. Soon as the gas killed people now it is an act of war. We are getting involved in their civil war and we should stay out of it in my opinion.
Another thing is that Russia, Turkey, and Iran are aiding Syria. Since these countries are communist we have to intervene against the Syrian government. Our government's job is to uphold freedom and democracy around the world. So we are aiding the rebels hoping that they can overthrow their government in Syria.
My only fear in our involvement is that Russia, Iran, and Turkey already have air support, ships, and troops in the area. If we attack them, it may bring about a third world war. Are we not fighting enough people already? I voiced my opinion and that is what it is. I have seen war and it is bad, nobody wins from it ever. You better believe if we strike on them they will retaliate and we will be in battle in another country. The American people need to speak up and I for one am outraged.

I have to agree with you Anthony. I too believe if we strike Syria, the arab nations will take the opportunity to strike at us. We must not put the citizens of this country in jeopardy, but how as a civilized nation do we turn a blind eye? I do not have the answer.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think we are in too many countries business and that we don't take enough care of our own citizens. I think that because we do have the freedom of speech you and I are able to sit here and discuss these matters. I am outraged that we think of other countries before we think of our own country.
ReplyDeleteI too agree. Thanks for sharing this information. I am very outragded, that our country has to be involved in everything that is going on. I understand that we are a nation that polices, but however, our involvement cause the young men of our country to be destroyed, because our country has to be in control. These wars are senseless, and those who are calling the shots are not the ones whose bodies are being maimed, crippled and disabled. And after enduring such hardships these young men are left to fend for themselves, due to the fact that they don't receive the proper help that they need. Many of our veterans have resorted to standing on stree corners begging for money and food. Not to mention that they have to suffer with mental issues due to all the killing amd damage that they have had to witness and/or be a part of. Our governmnet need to stop this madness.
