The use of chemical weapons on his own people by President Bashar Al-assad is despicible. Since March of 2011 the stability of the Syrian Arab Republic has degenerated at an alarming rate. Violent attacks on civilians by the al-Assad regime have continued to escalate in brutality as the government and opposition forces vie for control of strategic locations. According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights in February 2013, the death toll in Syria was approaching 70,000 – an overwhelming increase since July 2011.The pressure on the United States to urge regional allies to intervene has increased with recent reports citing the use of chemical weapons by the al-Assad regime. Any country with the ability to act and doesn't is just as guilty. Back the President Congress!
