The Syrian Conflict

The Syrian conflict has been going on for over 2 years now. The UN estimated that over 100,000 people have died because of what's going on, which is crazy for such a small area. Most people refer to this as the Syrian Civil War. The Syrian's are fighting over political disagreements. A lot of  problems start in the world because of miscommunication or different opinions on certain subjects. All of this started in the Arab Spring protesting in the streets against Assad's regime. Once the protesting got bad, many people got arrested, innocent people were killed, and the government started to kidnap civilians. Many other countries in the middle east have joined in this horrible conflict. Now the United States had gotten involved and plans to send air strikes to Syria. I don't really believe that this is a good idea because it may start unnecessary problems. It's also not right that ISOS did the the American journalist, and for the journalist sake I feel we should do something about this but nothing as extreme as bombing. As of now the United States have not sent any air strikes as the general population knows of.
