A new Fox News Poll is showing overwhelming opposition among American voters to a potential US invasion of Syria, with fully 78 percent of respondees rejecting the idea of sending ground troops to intervene in the nation’s civil war.
The poll also showed solid opposition to lesser forms of military intervention, with 68 percent opposing air strikes aimed at regime change and 64 percent opposing the US arming the rebel factions.
A separate Pew Research poll also showed strong opposition to US intervention, with some 64 percent of Americans saying that the US does not have a responsibility to “do something about” the ongoing fighting in the nation.
The polls are being spun as “in-line” with American opposition to the attack on Libya last year, which the Obama Administration did anyhow. With Libya already in the process of falling apart at the seams, however, it may be difficult for the president to start yet another war on that model.
Mr. President, American people are tired of wars, tired of being betrayed and lied to, tired of lost lives of their loved ones, the on going and not ending word of war and war and war again making people nervous, it makes people not functioning, children's are afraid of losing their father and mother or sister and brothers. Your policies and by those before you have failed and it will fail again if you continue with the same falsified idea about democracy, you want democracy start with your own backyard, people will understand democracy more and better then you think, they will respect it when they have it.
A huge percentage of Americans are opposed to intervention but this is nowhere represented in any of the mass media.

Just like Iraq.
The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia has said that all churches in the Arabian Peninsula must be destroyed. The statement prompted anger and dismay from Christians throughout the Middle East.
Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah made the controversial statement in a response to a question from a Kuwaiti NGO delegation. A Kuwaiti parliamentarian had called for a ban on the construction of new churches in February, but so far the initiative has not been passed into law. The NGO, called the Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage, asked the Sheikh to clarify what Islamic law says on the matter. The Grand Mufti, who is the highest official of religious law in Saudi Arabia, as well as the head of the Supreme Council of Islamic Scholars, cited the Prophet Mohammed, who said the Arabian Peninsula is to exist under only one religion. The Sheikh went on to conclude that it was therefore necessary for Kuwait, being a part of the Arabian Peninsula, to destroy all churches on its territory.
This is why when we say that US and EU policies are about dividing people in Middle east, not democracy, This why when we say that Mr. President your policies and cooperation with Islamic terrorism in the region has failed, US and EU policies is failed, your policies simply killing people in the region, there is no democracy in your policies, if dividing people is democracy to you then continue helping these tyrants and their masters to destroy more of what is left of democracy in the region. Ms. Hillary Clinton, are you listening or your busy planing another war with Iran.
Apparently, George Clooney and Angelina Jolie believe it would be a good idea – naturally, under the phony banner of humanitarian intervention. I find it interesting how liberal Hollywood is so easily galavanized into supporting these wars (Especially if a Democrat's in office).
COOL!! The deluded late drinkers have finally got on the same page with the deluded Kool Aid drinkers next up , HUF-PO explains how Cuba worked out just the way Ayn Rand planned
and no, I don't think that a "leftist" website (sorry could not figure out how to make the quotes larger) who relies on faux news surveys for credibility to pay attention to, much less post my comments, but we must all indulge our fantasies of a free press surviving somewhere
