World Peace has been something that the united States has tried to maintain. This has been a cause of controversy as to whether the United States should intervene in the problems of other countries. Because the U.S. is the most powerful nation, it has a responsibility to help others. There are benefits to U.S. intervention such as helping other countries, having allies when we are in trouble and, freedom worldwide; however, drawbacks exists such as killing our own, financially, and we intervene, we will need to keep our guard up. As American our first reaction is to aid other’. The United States can not sit around or look away while people in other countries kill innocent lives. “The U.S. needs to take a stand to help those who are super powerful in order to promote peace.” (Debate.org 1) “I know that the U.S. is tired of war and conflit, but American will lose it moral compass if we just sit by and watch… we had to stop evil.” (CNN.com 5) If the U.S. helps the other countries innocent children and adults will not die and will be safe in the long run. “Obama said the image and videos of children in pain and dying required the United States to act… Syria and U.S. children alike safer in the long run” (The Canadian Press 1) When the U.S. protects other countries rights we are showing them that we are loyal and trustworthy, so when we need their help, we know we can count on them. “America must look after America and its allies.” (The press 1) Also keep our trading partners close because without them we won’t get supplies that the U.S. need. “We can protect U.S. interest trading partners, military allies, countries with needed resources.” (Balanced Politics.org) But we should protect our allies from their rules who abuse the... ... middle of paper ... ... hand. We believe in freedom and as americans we help each other out when we need a helping hand. Now, it is up to our government leaders to make the right choice and allow the U.S. to keep sending our troops to help countries that can not defend themselves. We have the most powerful nation, and it has responsibility to help out.

The U.S. has been sending troops to over-sea countries to aid the needy, and take certain measures to try to keep our country safe. We want to help the innocent lives, care for the civilians, and want them to be free. We help other countries so that maybe one day they can stand on their own! Power is everything. Power is what controls the world, and without it, you become weak. When we help other countries, that shows how powerful we are, and how strong we are to stand on our on and help! The U.S is considered to be the superpower in the world. Therefore, it should use its power to help other countries in need. Yes, we have a lot of problems with our government,

In the case of Syria, his definition urges the bystander to take initiative. As elucidated in the text, King’s definition of morality causes Americans to experience vicariously the lives of marginalized groups. Too often, America possesses the tools to confront injustice, but instead, they stand by futilely. This problem is evident today and even more highlighted by the United States’ eleventh hour involvement in World War II. King summarizes this point, stating, “Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection” (citation). Moreover, in the case of the Syrian Civil War, if an individual American cannot bear the complete moral burden, he or she should advocate that the United States government should take action. The moral definition refers to King’s implicit proposal that the American government should bear the moral onus of the world since “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (citation). The idea that immorality is an infection serves as a prominent theme throughout King’s text, and he proposes that its eradication will only transpire when everyone dons the responsibility of purging immorality and
Throughout history, America has had its hand in conflict with other countries. Some of those conflicts have turned into wars. Looking back at America’s “track record” with war, America has a worthy past of having its citizen’s support. Obviously the two World Wars are not controversial. The United States in the Korean War was criticized, fairly, for its strategy, but the need to defend South Korea was never questioned.
...hat involve the situation but also the people of the country they are dealing with, because they might cut off aid to a country because the leader of the country might be a dictator the people would have to live in poverty. (14) I think this would be the best position because everyone would benefit from the situation. (15)In the Geneva Conference the U.S should have stayed out of Indochina’s business. The Chilean Revolution they United States should have never cut off aid to Chile for the reason being that the citizens of Chile would live in poverty. In the Panama Canal the United States did the right thing because they built it and owned it for several years and then in the year 2000 it passed it to the government of Panama.(16)in conclusion the United States should keep working on being the leading country of the world and not bring anymore problems upon themselves.
The United Nations General Assembly 36-103 focused on topics of hostile relations between states and justification for international interventions. Specifically mentioned at the UNGA was the right of a state to perform an intervention on the basis of “solving outstanding international issues” and contributing to the removal of global “conflicts and interference". (Resolution 36/103, e). My paper will examine the merits of these rights, what the GA was arguing for and against, and explore relevant global events that can suggest the importance of this discussion and what it has achieved or materialized.
Each year, the United States of America pours billions and billions of dollars into its foreign aid program. We are a rich nation, and also very generous. We are willing to sacrifice American lives to save those of other countries. Doesn't this sound like a nice thing to do? I didn't think so. It is simply a matter of getting our priorities straight, and getting back onto the track of making our country the best it can be; the right track.
I believe that there is no clear-cut position as to whether we should be Interventionist or Isolationist. It all comes down to circumstances. Almost every conflict the United States had been involved in has been about economics and what our country can gain. We have been one of the world’s greatest powers since the early 1900’s, mainly because of colonialization and domination of world economy.
The United States on several occasions have had to enforce the Monroe Doctrine and police international lands, our power to stop tyranny, corruption and our desire to maintain international unity will continually allow the United States to remain the great Nation that it is.

SUMMARY: The Syrian Civil War between the Syrian government, and the insurgents, as well as the Free Syrian Army has been escalating since early 2011. The United States, and our allies have faced difficulty in sending aid to Syria, and continue to deal with obstacles in sending even basic medications to Syrian civilians. However, the United States and its allies have also contributed to the lack of organization and the disparity in Syria by sending aid and artillery to individuals based only on political connection, and ignoring organization, local alliances, and without a true understanding of the reality of the Syrian localities to best protect the Syrian protestors. The question addressed in this memo will be defining the viable options to be pursued in Syria, how to pursue them, and assessing the most beneficial path of least resistance when offering aid, funds, and artillery to specific groups in the country. The recommendation will be that although the best alternative action item would be to choose a Syrian group with the least oppositional values comparative to the United States to fund, supply with arms, and train; that the United States should do nothing for the time being. Given the physical and financial risk involved with the Syrian Civil War, it would be prudent for the United States to simply observe how the war progresses over the next several months, as well as complete some research to truly understand the state of affairs in local areas of Syria to determine the extent to which the United States could identify a group to provide aid to, as well as the extent to which the United States involvement would be within Syria.
Our first priority on our country today is the citizens living inside of it. We have millions of troops in our army, marines, navy, and air force that would be going over and risking their lives for something we aren’t apart of. If the other countries can handle it then why should we be involved?
The Syrian refugee crisis has become major part of international news in these past few months. Many countries are strapped of resources and will soon not be able to handle any more refugees. The Syrian people are looking to flee conflict in their country, looking for better opportunities, and better lives for their families. Recently, a letter sent by fourteen senate democrats was sent to President Obama calling for the need of the United States to allow more Syrian refugees into our borders to alleviate pressure from European nations. The numbers are staggering, the letter states that half of Syria’s 23 million people have been forced from their home along with 4 million have been registered as refugees. The main purpose of the letter is

Another casual night: the air is sticky, and the water is scarce, all throughout the country the sound of gunshots are ringing through the air. For most people, this “casual” night is beyond their wildest imagination, but for Syrians it is an ongoing nightmare. Faced with the trauma of a civil war, Syrian refugees seek protection and a more promising future than the life they currently live in their oppressive country. Many seek refuge in other Middle East countries like Turkey and Jordan, but others search for hope in the icon of freedom, the United States of America. However, in America, there is an ongoing debate about whether or not Syrian refugees should be accepted. America needs to accept the Syrian refugees because if they do not, the
