Quintessentially American: Meet Suzan from Syria

I am sure that all of us know a bunch of awful stuff is happening in Syria, but a lot of us may be ignorant to exactly what is happening.  Here is a little breakdown:

Syria is currently going through a massive civil war that began in 2011.  Opposition to the government caused a series of protests and violence, prompting President Bashar-al Assad to retaliate against them.  This in turn strengthened their efforts and gave more vigor to the hundreds of rebel groups within the state, most notoriously ISIS.  Under Obama’s presidency, the U.S. made the decision to intervene with the mission to take down ISIS and Assad’s regime.
