Nick Cumming-Bruce and Michael R. Gordon
write their article regarding
Syria’s recent decision of providing a destruction plan for their chemical
weapons. According to both authors, this plan was submitted three days before
its deadline. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is
responsible for monitoring and later on destroying Syria’s program. According
to some American officials, Syria’s plan only provide a list of 23 sites where
the weapons program, while it is known that there are at least 45 sites. The
American government requires the complete list of weapons sites and their
location, and it will depend on Russia’s help to make Syria oblige. According
to Bruce and Gordon, if Syria fails to oblige, the Security Council could even
take military actions on the country.
Both authors focus to
provide information to the readers about the international struggle regarding
Syria’s chemical weapons program. They write this informative article with a
formal tone, using appropriate language for such type of essay. Both of them
use interviews and statistics to give credibility to their work. The article
has a good flow, starting by providing good, and credible information. They go
on and start explaining the situation so far, with information that is recent,
but others that are also gathered before the event related with chemical
weapons. Bruce and Gordon conclude their article by informing the reader of
some possible consequences if Syria refuses to cooperate with the United
Nations and the United States.
