@MWConflicts A3: The US should help humanitarian groups like the Civil Defense instead of providing arms that could fall into ISIS hands (4)

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@MWConflicts A2: What’s the history of the Kurd-Arab conflict? Why were the Kurds oppressed so badly by Assad? (Video 6)

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@MWConflicts A1: There are two civil wars going on in Syria, one against Assad by Syrians and the Kurds trying to win their independence (6)

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

The best way is to fund groups (Syrian Rebels, Israel) who would resist hezbollah to avoid risking American lives/equipment #mwconflicts

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@MWConflicts A4: Waterboarding should not be allowed because it harms our relationship with allies and only makes terrorists hate us more

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@MWConflicts A3 The strongest argument is the question of what to do with the detainees? Most ppl don't want them to come to the mainland US

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@MWConflicts A2: I think the strongest argument for closing Gitmo is to take away a terrorist recruiting tool

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@MWConflicts A1: Yes because it contradicts American values and is a huge drain on resources

It's sad that the US turned its back on the people who helped fight the taliban https://t.co/Obmd1QXNCs

@JDolanMWC @LMcNultyMWC @MWConflicts I agree, carter was the one who started supplying the radical groups

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@JWagensellerMWC or if they had supervised the use and distribution of the weapons more closely

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@MWConflicts A3: Carter should be associated with the rise because he was the first to give them weapons

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@MWConflicts have found refuge there (2/2)

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@MWConflicts A2: The US should have intervened in Afghanistan when it first learned how the Taliban ruled, and bin Laden never would (1/2)

[Ben Coughlin @bcoughlinMWC]

@MWConflicts A1: I was most alarmed that the US continued giving weapons and aid to the radicals even after the Soviets were driven out
