CNN Crossfire

As many of you may or not know, there is a series of segments covered by CNN in which reports essentially “Crossfire” arguments on a range of topics. This week the subject matter happened to be the involvement of the United States in foreign country specifically Syria. This debate brought up many questions we had discussed in class lecture and it explored the negativity and importance of interaction with such countries other than ourselves.

            While I agree that in times of strife and need; the necessary importance for our assistance can be overwhelming desired, but what is the outcome of our help? Does our help truly, help. The entire “Crossfire” covers that question. While in class lecture we discussed the vital and factual evidence of our assistance we did not discuss the level to which the country depends on us. Or for that matter the ignorance we have as Americans in trying to help.  In this certain discussion an overwhelming amount of critics and live twitter users roughly eight-five percent of viewers stated that we should not go into Syria and assist them. Now does that make our nation an awful selfish one or does it make us a smart geared one. The debate brings up the conversation over America being the “World’s Police” and whether or not that’s an admirable signifier.
