What does Justice look like in Syria?
The huge controversy in the world at the moment is how Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, is using chemical weapons against his people. There is a worldwide agreement, that Syria is apart of, that forbids the use of chemical weapons. Syria went against this agreement, which has resulted in many deaths of Syrian people, including innocent children. To President al-Assad, justice is using these illegal chemical weapons on his own people and killing them. President Obama is aware of what is happening in Syria and is threatening to get involved to keep the Syrian people safe, which is his way of getting justice. The Syrian people need help, and President Obama believes that we are the right people do to it. Many people are opposed to US involvement in Syria seeing as how we just got out of war in Iraq and how we lost so many soldiers. Other American people believe that we are strong enough to go serve justice in Syria and that if we don't take a stand, more Syrian people will be killed by these illegal chemical weapons.
Recently, Syria has agreed to give up their chemical weapons to Russia for dismantling. If Bashar al-Assad does end up going through with this plan, the US will have no reason to attack in Syria. If he does not, then that will give President Obama even more motivation to get involved and it will be inevitable that we will do so. President al-Assad's "justice" in Syria is not fair to the people and goes against the worldwide agreement to never use chemical weapons, never mind against one's own people. The US and President Obama's "justice" is getting involved to try to eliminate the use of chemical weapons completely in Syria and helping the innocent people effected by them.
