We talked about Syria and the US, and then we worked on our projects.
Syria notes:
-middle east, a culture region
-lots of dictators, taking away rights, people wanted more freedoms and better rights
-Arab Spring- spring of 2011
-Bashir al-Assad was in power after his father, elected in 2007, 7 year term, won 97% of the votes...so that was probably rigged.
-civil war : syrain government vs. the rebels (we are with rebels)
-We believe that the government is using gas attacks ... it is illegal to use gas in war
-1,429 killed - 426 children
-US response
-5 countries in security council
-US
-China
-France
-UK
-Russia
-There are signs that we are going to attack soon. If they are using chemical weapons we will air attack and factories we think they are making weapons in.
