Further evidence about why the U.S. should be able to be involved in world affairs comes from John Quigly and James Jay Carafano of the award winning and credible Tribune News from the site newsela who is known to be credible. “Without U.S. participation, the prospects for a successful conventional campaign against ISIS are slim.” Which explains that without help from the U.S. in world affairs there will be few failed attempts the efforts to stop wars. This is because the article states that without help from the U.S. the world could not successfully attack ISIS conventionally, which would then lead to more wars. Which, as previously stated, shows that a reason to be involved in world affairs is to stop wars and future wars .
