8-Day Blog Post: This Boy is a Reminder of the Horrors of War

On CNN, I watched a video of a young boy, presumably four or five, being pulled out of the rubble of his collapsed home in Aleppo, Syria. The boy has facial bleeding and is covered in dust and dirt from his childhood home. The media has used the image of the small child almost everywhere to convey that the outbreak of riots and fighting in Syria needs to end. Over 4,000 children have died in the country so far, so it's time for America to step up and take charge of the failing country. American government needs to be more involved in international affairs, however others believe that the government needs to withdraw more from international affairs. The controversy about this topic is overpowered by the gruesome images of women and children dying and the government should automatically go help and rescue it's country from failure.
