  1. What are your thoughts on the bombing of Syria?

 

  1. Anton Miryantz (Junior) – “There is a point at which intervention is necessary and in Syria, that point was reached when chemical weapons continued to be used despite agreements and pacts to stop their use and remove them. A purely diplomatic solution did not work and I think that the strikes were a way to spur the Russian and Syrian governments to do what they agreed to do. Despite the Assad regime being preferable to the Islamist factions, the Syrian quagmire cannot be allowed to devolve further with the use of chemical weapons.”

 

  1.   Max Burchill (Freshman) – “I think the bombings were necessary because of the place the Syrian government put their people in.”

 

  1.  Lily Becker (Sophomore) – “I hate Donald Trump.”

 

  1. Vanessa (Senior) – “No, I do not agree with the bombing of Syria, but I do think the US should take some course of action… Rather not send 50 missiles into Syrian soil but maybe provide a helping hand when hundreds of thousands of refugees are seeking asylum.
