Civil War In Syria Raises Questions About When To Intervene

In "Civil War In Syria Raises Questions About When To Intervene" PBSNEWSHOUR tells us how almost 200,000 people has to move to more calmer and quieter places because of the civil war that's going on. Also how different countries are accepting refugees but as many people as there is, they can not continue to take care of another full population. Therefore many people such as 2.5 million, are being affected by this and aren't being sheltered, fed, or even cared for.
One example that supports my answer is in the article it says "Temporary camps built to house large numbers of refugees are only for a short-term solution, as refugees often cannot obtain illegal rights in their new host country. These countries must perform a balancing act as they try to assist the flood of needy poeple while not putting a strain on their own citizens and resources".
Another example that supports this answer is in the article when many people start to wonder if the U.S should get involved because of the many innocent people that'll most likely be caught in the cross fire while the war is going on.
I found this article very interesting because of how many people are walking far distances just so they can find peace and sleep at night without worrying about if they'll live for the next day. Although, with the civil war going on and everything, the president of that country doesn't seem to acare about anyone else's life because he's killing innocent people day by day.
Another reason I found this article interesting is because of how the U.S is interferring, they've made it clear that they care for the victims in this situation and they've tried to make a peace offering with the people that are intervening with the situation.
This article made me wonder about the safety of the U.S because with us interferring, will they ever try to go against us because of us standing up or bstepping in the middle? But then again, what will happen to these innocent people if we dont stick up for them, will it be too late, and everyone is already gone?
