Isis Pros And Cons
With terrorist attacks happening all over the world today with many of them being credited to ISIS, it brings us to the discussion of whether or not America should engage in a war with ISIS or not.Going to war will cost a lot of money and cause a lot of innocent deaths for both sides of the war.If we take war into their homelands, they will in turn bring war into our homelands. Some people think that if we do go to war it would be best because they say that it would help to end all terrorist attacks once and for all.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted during the weekend after attacks in Paris found that 76% of Americans do not want U.S. ground forces sent to fight ISIS, and 65% don’t even want small special operations units to conduct limited missions. There are over 3500 US soldiers in Iraq right now and one of them was killed in a raid to rescue hostages in October of

ISIS is a terror group and they have been credited for over half of all of the terrorist attacks that have been taking place. I think that we should go to war with them because if someone doesn't stop them then they won't stop. They are going to try to start their beliefs over here they want America to be theirs. They said in a news conference with a guy from America that they will see us in New York. If that doesn't make you want to go fight them i don't know what else would. I f we take take action quick they will be over here trying to force their way in here so that they can destroy everything. I'm not all that smart with war but i know that it will cost a lot of money and many deaths but if we don't do something about it now then it will end up costing way more money and a tion of more deaths than it ever would have if we would just go to war now! This is just a little bit of information that i have found explaining both sides of the story and i hope that you will choose a side and hopefully let's engage in

    Proportionality requires combatants to use appropriate force, vilifying excessive or unconstrained force, while discrimination requires combatants to protect noncombatants, and forbids the use of force against them. The United States could still win a morally justifiable war against ISIS with these constraints. It can easily act proportionally by not using excessive force like nuclear arms or destroying property in a manner that would cause significant economic harm. Moreover, since ISIS massacred hundreds of civilians and Russia has implored every nation to list ISIS as a terrorist, the definition of “proportionality” can be debated, but the United States can defeat ISIS justly without having to resort to semantical quandaries. Similarly, the United States could discriminate between combatants and non-combatants and create a much better war record than it did in Iraq. Furthermore, since most of ISIS’s members are local militants who simply pledged allegiance, the United States can circumscribe its area of attack to the various headquarters of ISIS in the Iraq provinces of Baghdad, Al Anbar, Diyala, Kirkuk, Salah al-Din, Ninawa, and parts of Babil and the Syrian provinces of Al Barakah, Al Khayr, Raqqah, Homs, Halab, Idib, Hamah, Damascus, Ladhikiyah. This tactic drastically reduces the area the US will come into contact with, thus reducing the number of civilians affected by…

    The Islamic State is a terrorist group that should be stopped. They have hurt and continue to hurt a lot of people, but there isn’t much that the U.S. could do that has not been done yet. In my opinion, the fastest way to end with a problem is to get rid of it completely. One way to achieve that is by using nuclear weapons. Bombing Iraq to swipe the Islamic State could be an infinitive answer, but like everything there are some pros and cons to this method. To be more exact there are more negative effects to this method. First of all, Isis is not just in one place, but it’s spread all over the region. That means the U.S. would have to use many bombs. That would be extremely expensive and ineffective. Also, we would also be killing innocent…

    Our heroes are out there fighting for America. But exactly what are they fighting for, because it seems like our own government is hiding information from us. They say that it’s to protect us. Is it really? A government that we call one of our own and one that we trust has deceived us. For the families who are losing their sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers, etc.,who are in the war, are just told that they should be proud of their protector protecting the United States of America. After the soldiers die, the only remembrance of the fallen is the burial. Only families remember their deaths while the government moves on with their business and they say that they care for our people. To me the United States should have never gone to war with…

    There are many definitions of the word terrorism. Most of the definitions of this word are meant to criticize those who commit certain actions and label them as evil doers. For most Americans, terrorists are known as those who bomb buildings and cause a large amount of civilian deaths and are just pure evil. That is simply one way of looking at it, a very American viewpoint one might say. The reality is, terrorism is simply how a small weak force fights a large powerful force. As long as there is conflict in the world, and there always will be, there will be tactics under the category of “terrorism.” I believe it to be a bad term however, these acts of terrorism, as we call them, are really just an act of war by a disgruntled and weaker force. It would be foolish for the smaller force to engage the powerful military forces head on if they want to have any success in their attacks against us or another powerful force. That force would be defeated far too easily.…

    Some say that the United States should detain terrorists, or that the US could easily leave terrorists alone. By detaining terrorists the US could not only prevent more death but also get information out of terrorists. That idea in theory sounds tremendous, but sadly it is a pipe dream. Detaining terrorists not only puts our forces at risks but simply does the US no good. With places like Guantanamo Bay being essentially stripped down, there is no means to interrogate captured terrorists (Byman 32-43). Some people will also argue that Middle Eastern governments should take care of their own terrorist problems, and that the US should stay out of the conflict. Unfortunately, this is not an option either. Asking the local government militaries is far more bloody. They often torture and…

    Because we are engaged in an armed conflict with al- Qaeda, the United States takes the legal position that, in accordance with international law, we have the authority to take action against al-Qaeda and its associated forces. The United States does not view our authority to use military force against al-Qaeda as being restricted solely to “hot” battlefields like Afghanistan.…
