Current Global Struggles. USA



I chose to analyse an article critical of Americas involvement and bombing of Iraq and Syria. This group of people are talking directly to the president, telling him what they think he is doing wrong.

The group say that there is no solution that American leadership can offer.
They think that America are taking the wrong actions in dealing with the issues in Syria. They think that it is no business of Americans to get involved in middle eastern affairs. They completely shut down other peoples ideas by saying that anyone who says otherwise is simply wrong. they stand up against the common American belief and question whether what the government is doing is right.

They criticise the American government saying that they are only making a bad situation worse and are sticking their noses in business that does not concern them. They stand against the idea of bombing Syria and speak out to Obama to STOP. CREDO would urge a no vote on military intervention in Iraq and Syria as currently understood. 
This shows that even though the majority of America (and myself) are on the side of the government in the war on terror, there are people, Americans, that believe the USA are sticking their nose into a door that doesn't need to be open.

They also criticise the military leadership in America. Saying that the military establishment and key members of the Obama administration including John Kerry and Joe Biden who are beating the drums for war. They say that America is asking for war, but don't blame the president alone. They question not only the political leadership of America but its Military as well. They believe that Global issues are only being made worse by western intervention, making America look very bad. 

They don't argue against protecting the civilians but against the unnecessary bombing of Syria. Don’t bomb Syria.This group criticise America for the unnecessary bombings that followed. This is a very negative outlook on a situation that most Americans would back in the current day. CREDO are very critical of American decisions, saying they are the wrong ones to make.

They also criticise American decisions to Arm the rebels, saying it will only make the situation worse. Again this is a very critical view of America and global issues, suggesting that they are trying to cause war rather than prevent it. 

They see it as their duty to say this to the president. To show him what he is doing wrong, they even finish the article by saying We have to speak out now to prevent the United States from being dragged down the slippery slope to another unwinnable war in the Middle East. They are very negative about American approach to this conflict, saying that America are not only dragging Syria down but themselves down as well.
