Every aspect of
democracy, human rights, freedom, secularism and citizenship is lost from view and no one
cares. The crisis has mown down thousands upon thousands of soldiers, opponents, civilians,
men, women, children, Muslim sheikhs and Christian priests.
The people of Syria are being ruthlessly massacred and until now it seems as though the world is
just watching. There has been a lot of talk and debate all over the world and news about Obamas
plot to bomb Syria. I think this is an awful idea for two reasons; first of all, if Obama were to
carry out this plan, it would only kill innocents and cause a bigger problem within Syria. It was
mentioned how if Obama bombed these chemical weapons used against civilians, they would
only burst and infect the country all around. Secondly, Syrias allies would only take up arms
against U.S.A like Iran, Russia and many Middle Eastern countries. This would only lead to a
world war; some even say we are on the verge of World War III. I my opinion, USA should not
get involved with the conflict in Syria. The U.S has a history with erupting civil wars and
creating bigger problems within the Middle East. Therefore, U.S.A should not become militarily
involved with the crisis in Syria; it would only escalate to bigger problems.
Pope Francis mentioned how he oppressed Obamas idea to bomb Syria; he claims it would cause
a bigger problem than it is now. I agree with Pope Francis idea, in fact I think it should be
unanimous since this would make the citizens of Syria suffer more than they already are; as I
mentioned earlier.
I think the only thing that we could do is to pray and promote peaceful protests in Syria. In
generous prayer life comes from a place of recognizing that God is mighty, righteous and that
through him all things are possible. And when we are generous in our prayers, when we
recognize and truly believe this, then hope for situations like those in Syria reappears.
Lets us offer a generous prayer for the people of Syria. As we do, let us remember the words of
Jesus in Matthew 17:
I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,
'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
