War with Syria ?

Nearly 1,500 are dead in what the new york post calls it. "the worst chemical attack in the 21st Century". Bashar al-Assad’s regime launched the chemical weapons that killed nearly 1,500 civilians in a suburb of Damascus in Syria on the 26th of August . Many people were injured and killed by the explosions sent by their very own leader.

President Obama has made it very clear that he would like to take military action against Syria for the harm done to their people under Assad's ruling and because he broke the laws of chemical weapon use.

There are different feelings throughout the country if Obama should launch an attack on Assad due to the retaliation in the form of terrorism. Many are unaware that this is a 2 1/2 year old civil war going on in Syria, why would them president get involved now and what retaliation will it bring the United States.

 Why would Obama invest time into trying to save lives in Syria when there is so much to be fixed in our own country from Obama care to student loans.America has its own problem now , why create the possible risk of terrorism in our country by getting involved in a situation that has nothing to do with us Americans. I understand that he must act as a leader when someone breaks major laws but you also have to act in the best interest of your citizens.

"Striking Syria would kill innocent people, spread violence across the region and cloud other Middle East peace efforts. It would also "unleash a new wave of terrorism."
