Paris Attacks Effect More Than Just Paris - Juliet Nelson 9

This past week there was an attack in Paris that ISIS has taken credit for. The attack killed hundreds and wounded more but that hasn’t stopped it from impacting our politics. Due to the fact that President Obama had released a statement that the ISIS situation was under control, then the attacks happened, it has sparked a particular debate for the upcoming presidential candidates. Many of the candidates have avoided discussing the subject. They have given multiple weak arguments and statements on their stance in the ISIS debate and now that it is right in everyone’s faces, its time for their strategies to be revealed. Both Democrats and Republicans have responded some with clear plans, others with simple statements expressing disgust. This event could shape who takes control of the polls for both parties and based on the responses could determine who wins the election.

The attacks that occurred in Paris have influenced the whole world. Like 9/11 it influenced the responses from countries are the world, America included. France is one of our allies and ISIS, one of our enemies, which by means of the NATO agreement Article 5 makes the attack on France, and attack on America. The responses that the presidential candidates are giving will influence the next election. Unless Obama can get rid of ISIS in the next 11 months of his presidency, the job will go to the next president and that means it’ll be a big factor in the elections. This article seemed to favor the GOP candidates, rarely mentioning Sanders or Clinton and when they did it was to bash on their views. It’s going to be very interesting to see the plans that our possible new leaders come up with.
