As we all may no President Obama is in a serious dilemma dealing with Syria and their problems. They are having trouble controlling their chemical weapons so the President is deciding to act on it. It is said that Syria has over 1,000 metric tons of chemical weapons that no one knows how they got it. For some reason they keep using them not only on other countries and cities but their own people. People in Syria are not safe because they are living through day to day potential hazards. The Syrian citizens are living in fear everyday not knowing where or what's going to get bombed next. Being the United States, the world leader, we try everything possible to the world a safe place especially for innocent people. That's why Obama is deciding to step of the middle of this national controversy that's going on in Syria. Obama is receiving a lot of criticism from every corner in attempt stop the violence and use of chemical weapons in Syria. Some say he was too hesitant in his decision to act and some say he shouldn't at all. I don't know why people are beginning to question Obama's authority for the decisions he is making. Some say that it is damaging his reputation as an effective president for our country. I think everyone has their opinion and the president will do what he thinks will benefit us and others. If he does not stop this, it is a possibility that Syria might try to use the weapons on us. So his decision to act is only safe for us and is right in my opinion. Obama as of right is now is trying to come to an agreement with the Syria. If they destroy all chemical weapons no more blood will be spilled but if they don't he will send the military to destroy them.
