I thought that since we had articles giving some general information about the attacks and some history on the civil war it only made sense to see what was going on now with the chemicals weapons in Syria; and after searching around a little I found this article that tied them all together. Being only published three days ago it has some of the newest information not only about what is going to happen in Syria with the chemical weapons, but also the United States involvement in that. After reading all the other post about what has been going on in Syria, I finally understood what all the craziness was and is about, so I was so happy to read at the start of the article that al-Assad said he would get rid of all the chemical weapons in Syria. The article gives you a basic understanding of how they are planning on carrying out this very dangerous and expensive plan.
I hope this plan can be carried out in a safe way. The fact that it is so expensive and dangerous makes it more of a question of whether is not it can and will be done. It is also nice to see a more recent article since most are months old. Since I haven't heard anything new about the chemical attacks in Damascus its nice to know that things have been done to come up with plans to help.I also hope that all the chemicals are disposed in a manner in which isn't harmful for the environment. It is nice to see countries trying to come up with a solution.
ReplyDeleteI am curious as to why the U.S. offered to destroy Syrians chemical weapons? It is a dangerous undertaking. Just moving them to the coastline must be done secretly and securely. That amount of chemical weaponry is a tempting offer to any terrorist group. Who will be helping with this move? Only Syria or are other countries going to help move all of those weapons. The political aspect of this whole indiver has to be crazy, for instance where is $47 - $61 million to destroy the weapons and the article did not really say what this estimation will go toward. After the chemical weapons have been neutralized who is going to get the hazardous waste? And what will they do with it? There is so much that goes along with this process we can only hope it goes as planed.
