In the article "Civil war in Syria Raises Questions about when to Intervene" by Ja'anai Delaney they point out that the war in Syria could affect the U.S as much as it can affect them. With the war in Syria, citizens are being forced to move and are taking away food from nearby countries. They don't have a choice though because they would be caught in the crossfire if they stayed in Syria.

In this article the details that are used are facts and quotes. The facts are about the Syrian civil war. One shocking thing is that they are working with the Al-Qaeda and the U.S may get involved. This is shocking because they are a terrorist group who attacked the U.S and I thought the U.S would leave them alone.

I think we should leave them alone and let them handle their problems themselves. This is not our problem and we should allow other people to handle their own problems. We have our own problems to handle and we should begin with ours first.

This article made me think about plenty of things. It made me wonder about why do we not handle our own problems before we try to help out other people. I could find the answers by interviewing adults and asking them their opinion on the subject. Also if the Al-Qaeda is working with them would they retaliate and attack us again which would put all of the citizens in danger.
