Crisis in Syria

On August 21, 2013 the Syrian government released chemical weapons on its citizens, bombing them with poisonous gas killing thousands. Syrian "President Bashar al-Assad's government denies all allegations and has accused the rebels of carrying out the attack.: "Syria recently agreed to join the global Chemical Weapon Convention, and the UN said it would come under  the treaty from 14 October." "It envisages Syria providing a full inventory of its chemical weapons in one week, all production equipment being destroyed by November, and all weapons being removed from Syria or destroyed by mid-2014." (www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-24098159). A UN resolution could be sought under Chapter VII of the UN charter, which allows for the use of force, if Syria fails to comply. As a result president Obama is considering an attack or war on the syrian government. The united States does not need nor do we have the money for another war. Why does the U.S feel that they have to help everyone? The U.S is in enough debt with the current wars and adding another one would only hinder our nation. This nation needs to let another country handle this problem like Russia and work on building the economy here to make America a better place overall.
