Syria

The news is slowly starting to constantly center on one thing: Syria. After watching the movie Argo this weekend, I now can understand a little more how serious this situation can be for those American citizens that are in Syria working at the embassy. I don't want to see the United States in another war. Quite frankly, watching Argo just made me think that the Iranian hostage situation could have been avoided had the U.S. not interfered in the first place by replacing their elected official.

The United States is not perfect. No matter who is our president, we are bound to make mistakes, either from acting rashly or not quickly enough. With problems in Iraq and Afghanistan slowly starting to come to a close, are we really ready to launch another attack in the Middle East? Sometimes action needs to be taken, and I understand that. I just am very wary about how long and to what measure our help to the Syrian people would take.

Sometimes, we truly come to the aide of other countries, other times, however, we cause more problems than there were before.
