About a year ago, President Obama drew a "line in the sand" telling Syria that if they used chemical weapons, it would be crossing the line and that the United States would come after them. Well, Syria crossed that metaphorical line and now the president feels he must live up to his word. However, this would not be the first time Obama, or any president at that, has gone against his word, so why should "pride" get in the way this time? Especially when many lives and loads of money are at stake.
I don't want to come off as "heartless", because it is absolutely terrible what is happening over there, but would U.S intervention make much of a difference? There are a lot of problems going on in that part of the world, and frankly, there is no place for America to try and "help". The United States has a lot going on as is; I think we should focus on that and not risk the lives of many Americans or the stability of our country.
