The Syrian Dilema

        The U.S. as a country needs allies. We need friends who can help us when we need them. Recently we had the option of giving weapons to Syrian rebels to aid in their fight against an oppressive government. However i don't believe that giving weapons to rebels in another country is the correct way to help. Supplying these weapons would put these rebels in our dept but only if they win their war with their government. If they fail we are out these weapons and Syria would view us as potential enemy for supplying weapons to their rebels. We should help fight immoral and tyrannical governments but only through smart choices. I believe that the situation is indeed dire and we do need to do something to help but supplying these weapons of war is not the answer.
