With the conflict arising in Syria, countries have began thinking about taking part in the enormous dilemma. U.S.A. being one of the main and strongest countries in the world have been vacillating to either take action in the situation or leave it as is. The President of the United States, Barrack Obama, stated, "We're not considering any open-ended commitment. We're not considering any boots-on-the-ground approach," Despite the comment made by the President, he has not decided how he would respond the the situation, although the administration has been thinking about missile strikes to Syrian President Bashar Assad to make a point. After a meeting in the Oval Office with Baltic leaders, the White House announced that the U.S. government is highly confident that the Assad government had launched rockets rockets with deadly gas on Damascus, killing 1,855 people with 429 of them being children. The British Parliament met on Thursday and voted not to participate in the Syrian dilemma, complicating the situation for Obama with England being one of the U.S.'s main allies. The President has met with both Congress and his allies, and the decision is yet to be made.
