Research Paper ISIS and many terrorist groups have been recently attacking at will throughout the entire world. The terrorist group of ISIS is the biggest and most widely known terrorist group recently. One of the biggest controversial arguments today is if the United States should go to war with terrorist groups such as ISIS and others. I believe that the best solution to this argument is to not go to war with terrorist groups or ISIS just yet. Within the past couple of years, the terrorist group of ISIS has made them well known and kept the world into a state of fear and terror when it comes to terrorist attacks. One of the biggest controversial arguments currently has to do with the United States going to war with the terrorist group of ISIS. I believe that the United States shouldn’t go to war with ISIS, or just not yet. I believe that if they decide to fight a ground war with ISIS or these certain terrorist groups, they will be blindly moving into their territory. The last time that the United States decided to rush into a blind fight, not knowing what was coming, they got taken down in the war in Vietnam. If the United States dies decide to fight in these ground wars against the terrorist groups they will not know what is coming and will have to blindly fight at risk of losing a lot of soldiers in the end of the war. Another reason that the United States should not go to war with ISIS in general is
America is torn betwixt the dispatchment of American ground troops to fight the terrorist group Isis. The Isis ideology and vision consists of the restoration of the caliphate of early Islam and pledging allegiance to it. Isis regards to maintain the purification of Islamic society, they must fight non-Muslim countries. This desire of a pure Islamic society has precipitated harm on several non-Muslim countries, and even on their own country. The American government is considering sending our ground troops to fight Isis, however, the negatives to sending ground troops to fight Isis are monumental.
The United States, with its coalition partners, has committed to degrade and destroy the terrorist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). This group poses a threat to the people of the Middle East, as well as to the United States, our allies, and interests in the region. If this terrorist organization is left uninterrupted, ISIL will grow, threatening the surrounding areas of the Middle East, our allies abroad, and the United States.
"We're looking for opportunities to do more, and there will be boots on the ground, and I want to be clear about that", Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said about defeating ISIS, or the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Because my partners and I agree with Secretary of Defense Carter, we stand in support of the resolution, Resolved: The US should declare war on ISIS.
The war on Isis is a very sad and terrible thing. I feel as though I should tell you about it though, to give you a better understanding. The war on Isis stretches all across the middle east and other parts of the world such as Germany and Belgium. Many other countries besides the U.S are at war with Isis. Many countries hate Isis because of their terror. Isis is very similar to a terrorist group led by Osama bin Laden called Al-Queda. They want people to cower down in fear of them. The countries at war with them will not cower down in fear. We have showed that we are strong together and will fight against them.
8th, this could come at the price of developed territory for us and our allies. The U.S. governs a lot of land in the Middle East that could be easily raided by ISIS, and if we started a massive war with them they wouldn’t hesitate to do so.
The U.S. strategy for defeating ISIS must look like defeating terrorists without compromising foreign interest in these countries, like Syria, and Iraq. There is also a risk for finding trustworthy allies, and having weapons falling into the wrong hands. Therefore U.S. should provide aids to allies and help them figure out their true ideology. A war would destroy the economy of the Syria and negatively affect the citizens as well as the environment of the region. For the betterment of the world and its people, countries should come together and end the war by negotiating rather than shooting at each other, if possible.
President Obama stated in his Anti-Terror Strategy address, "We continue to face a terrorist threat. We cannot erase every trace of evil from the world, and small groups of killers have the capacity to do great harm. That was the case before 9/11, and that remains true today” (Obama).The Middle East today is composed of very complicated religious tensions, unstable states, and rising terrorist organizations. The collapse of central governments and the rise of powerful non-state actors breed problems that foreign powers and the world’s only superpower, simply should begin to address. Many argue that the involvement in the Middle East is not our problem and that it will only cause our national debt to increase. As human beings we must began to realize the crimes against humanity occurring in the region and ask ourselves one question, can we truly turn a blind eye to the hundreds of innocent people dying and at what cost? The United States of America must get involved in the Middle East to ensure justice is achieved and maintained. Our interference will decrease the chances of terrorist attacking U.S. soil, and our military involvement will save the lives of many innocent citizens caught up in the turmoil. The United States must protect its interests and allies in the region. America stands for freedom, justice, and dignity; we must take a stand to defend ourselves and those in need, if we truly want to uphold the
Everyday innocent people are dying for no reason. A rising terrorist group called Isis is responsible for this and they need to be stopped.A group called Isis has been active since 1999 but most recently has seen a huge growth. So far little has been to stop them and it is time to do more about it. I’m not talking about more air strikes it is time to step up our game and send ground troops to defeat these monster once and for all. Isis is responsible for many death and many horrific terrorist attacks. According to a CNN poll 68% say America's military response to the terrorist group thus far has not been aggressive enough. In this paper we will look at that America thinks it time to send ground troops, how people don't think Obama doing enough, and finally all the harm Isis is doing.The U.S need to send ground troops to fight Isis.
War on ISIS has been been a problem in the world today. We have been going back and forth on rather we should declare war on them for the longest. My personal opinion I think we should because they 're never going to stop abusing america and kidnapping our american citizens until we bomb and kill them. Over the years different presidents have had their input on if we should declare war on them or not. For one, former president George W. Bush said yes and everybody thought that was a huge problem. People need to know that ISIS is a threat to the united states.
They are very strong in numbers and trained when it comes to planning attacks on enemies. If the U.S does send troops over to fight ISIS, they would just be silly to do that for many reasons. The U.S needs to slowly bring them down instead of going in all at once. They need to catch them off guard. Plan accordingly and outsmart them. The U.S has too much American lives out fighting for our country and sending them over to a place we know is bad would just be unwise. Thousands of American soldier’s lives could be lost and that is too many to lose to
53%of Americans say the U.S should send ground troops to Iraq or Syria to fight against ISIS, poll taken by CNN politics. Although the U.S shouldn’t be fighting against a religious ISIS is also a terrorist group. 60% of Americans disapprove of President Obama’s handling of terrorism poll taken by CNN politics. This Country needs to put ground troops in Syria to denaturalize the threat that is ISIS.
The United States military should not be used to fight terrorism on America soil, due to the fact that it can causes mass destruction and chaos. Attempts to defeat terrorism through military operations in rogue states may eventually defeat one foe; however the pictures of bombed hospitals and injured civilians will only create more enemies (Cannon, 2014). Terrorism is the use of harmful or lethal force to intimidate, terrorize and provoke citizens, in order to fulfill the interests of the terrorist. Terrorists normally operate from a government, community and organization in which specific goals are trying to be reached, whether it be trying to ruin the comfort of living, provoking fear or disrupting the safeness of our country. Most terrorest groups operate in rogue countries because the governments are easier to manipulate, due to the fact that theyre so ill epuipped and not capable of partaking in a long-term war
According to the conditions made by Aquinas the United States are justified in waging war on ISIS. Under the first condition, authority must wage war. Therefore,The United States President has the authority to wage war. A just reason is needed to wage war. ISIS has illegally obtained lethal weaponry. “ They also have captured…trucks manufactured for the United States Military.” (What is Islamic State?) Another reason the U.S is justified is that ISIS is gaining support
ISIS is a dangerous terrorist group from Syria/Iraq causing trouble all around the world. ISIS have had increasing violent attacks that include beheadings and suicide bombings. They have threatened to kill 2 journalist from the U.S.A if they don’t receive the quantity of money they want. I feel like ISIS is targeting on the U.S for more and more money. The will tend to get more violent and stronger as the years pass by. I think it won't be such a good idea to just go over and fight ISIS, that would make ISIS a bigger threat to America.
Over the past two days, our class has been in a debate over whether or not we should go to war with ISIS. Originally, I was neutral on this conflict. I know we have to do something about this problem and I don't see a way we could do that peacefully, but I also don't think that an all out war, one that is potentially World War III, is an acceptable solution either. Each side had valid points when it came to why they thought we should or should not go to war with ISIS.
