Hello,
The topic for Monday is military interventions and the war in Vietnam. I'd like you to read an article about a milary intervention and to know why and more orr less when it took place (e.g. Iraq, Afghanistan, Mali, Vietnam, Korea etc.). Post a short resume of the article you've read and a short opinion about it.
Sorry for posting so late; if you can't do it, no penalty.
But it would be nice if you had a vague idea about at least one military intervention.
See you on Monday!

www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/24/us-led-coalition-surveillance-flights-tikrit-iraqToday, my article deals with one of the military intervention made by the Coalition against Isis (the Islamic State). This intervention take place in Iraq between Mossoul and Bagdad and the aim is to get back the city of Tikrit which is an important place to bring supplies on other battlefield in Iraq. This operation is important for the Coalition and it's also the first time that US soldiers will come with Iraqi army. For the moment, American only have a role of advisers and trainer for the Iraqi army. But they also have lot of planes who did air stike on keypoint like oil refinery. In this case they will have to lead the Iraqi soldiers and supervise the operation to avoid problem and collateral damages. For me, it's a good thing that american take a clear position against Isis. It's an international duty to do something against them. And it's good to know that american government doesn't follow their own objectives (like oil refinery) but do something to help Iraqi in their fight.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_intervention_against_the_Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_LevantThe article of today bring up the military intervention against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. This intervention is relatively new, in fact this intervention takes place in July 2014 in four country (Syria, Iraq, Libya and Nigeria). A lot of country take part of this intervention as France, USA, United Kinkdom, Canada, Jordan, and others. Iran and the Hezbolah were the first to send troops and fight against The Islamic states. United states have followed in August 2014. To my mind, it's a good idea to fight against the Islamic States and today this is a threat against the World. Theire practice to killed poeple is not humain and we must to fight against them.

This website talks about the military intervention that the US led in Iraq. Indeed, President Obama ordered an air strike to stop the advance of the Islamic state. To help the local population trapped in the mountains, the United States have also sent relief supplies. I think this is very difficult for the United States because they must intervene in a distant country, and they should not touch civilians when an attack is launched. In addition, they must meet all their allies to maintain a stable situation.
