America versus Rebels?

Syrian Rebels

   When you were younger did you ever get into something that your parents told you not to, but they weren't paying attention so you did it anyway? War with Syria can make one question America's purpose in war. Did the United States take the right action not proceeding with going to war with Syria?
    America is already in tons of debt. War with Syria could have caused our debt rate to skyrocket even more. America is already involved with many other wars. According to National Priorities Project, “Every hour, taxpayers in the United States are paying $11.26 million for Total Cost of Wars Since 2001.”  $11.26 million is what American taxpayers pay for war in just Afghanistan and Iraq. To see America’s debt refer to the U.S. Debt Clock. All of the debt that America is in is mind-boggling. With so many citizens being unemployed in the United States along with some being disabled, our citizens should be a priority to this country. Getting involved in something that could be pointless and just a waste of money should not be something that the government focuses on.
    Secondly, America does not need to become involved in someone else’s civil war. According to Robert H. Scales, “As the Israelis learned in 1973, the Syrians are tough and mean-spirited killers with nothing to lose.” Syrian “rebels” are not afraid to fight back and will do whatever it takes to have control of the war. The article With Obama on the War Path  reads, “Another potential consequence of a U.S. attack on Syria would be a broader regional war that could inflame the entire Middle East and possibly the world.” The Christians and Shias do not want the United States to get involved because they say if we were to become more involved a world war may break out.  I believe that as Americans we should respect the fact that the Muslims and Christians in Syria are done with intervention because they say it is causing friendships to be destroyed. If the United States were to bomb Syria, the innocent could end up harmed and hurt which would defeat the purpose. The religious leaders in Syria are for peaceful reforms. The citizens of Syria want to prove a point that they can do it without help and that help from other countries is not always the best alternative.
    Lastly, Obama needs to bring home troops not keep sending them out. Many families have lasted months and years without their loved ones because of war. Yes, they signed up to serve our country but they also have the right see their loved ones. In February 2013 CNN announced, “President Barack Obama announced in his State of the Union speech on Tuesday night that some 34,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan will have returned home by this time next year.” What is the point of bringing the troops home if he is going to send them back out to another country to fight, almost immediately?
    War with Syria would have caused more trouble for both Syria and the United States and possibly even the world. We need to let Syria try to overcome their issues as they wish. America has no business dealing with Syria.
