US sends forces to liberate Raqqa- Cameron Eisenberg

Article- Syrian and US forces are launching a campaign to liberate areas north of Raqqa, the de-facto capital of ISIS, with hopes of capturing the city.  Heavy weaponry and troops have already entered the region, and have begin to free the civilians. They hope to isolate the city to force ISIS out. Russia might help with the US/Syrian forces.
Analysis- This is very similar to most of the cold war fighting, where American troops come in to help(try to at least) and install democracy. I think its good that America Syria, and possibly Russia are trying to help.
