Think about what you learned in this lesson about the US remaining neutral in times of international conflict. The US today sometimes intervenes in wars that do not directly involve the country – how do you feel about this? Keep in mind the relations that the US has with other countries and how this affects US decisions to get involved in other nations’ conflicts.

Write a persuasive essay in your own words to the president on whether the US should maintain neutrality or enter a new war. Choose a position and argue it.
