Weekly Post- Last one

In class recently we have been talking about terrorist acts and the outcomes of it. On the online website of The Washington Post I found an article called, “The chemical question: Dual Iraq legacies hang over a U.S. dilemma on Syria”. This article focuses on the chemical weapons that Syria has and are believed to be used against America. However, the question is how can one attack without knowing if they will attack us in the first place? This is an issue because if they attack we will not be able to respond and save ourselves but if we attack just because we believe that they are going to attack we are basically starting war or a terrorist attack. This is an issue many countries can have with each other which is controversial because one cannot attack without being sure but how can you actually trust that the other country is not going to bomb your country? They can say they have no intentions of bombing or attacking your country but it is another thing for it to actually be true. This connects to class about international affairs because there are countries that can be attacked by other without even knowing. So how does that create a safety to one? One can only think they are safe and be ready for when they can be attacked by another country.
