STOP U.S. INTERVENTION IN SYRIA
The last thing this country needs is yet another war particularly in the Middle East.
Dear Congressman:
America has never done well when involving themselves in foreign Civil Wars, specifically in countries with cultures we understand so little of, to be able to bring about any effective solutions.The conflicts in the Middle East are too complicated to be handled militarily and foreign intervention often has a way of prolonging chaos and violence, not ending it. The Administration is marching toward another war in the Middle East, Syria. Though the international community has the responsibility to get to the bottom of what happened, military intervention is not the right option. Following the failures in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. simply cannot afford another military campaign in the Middle East, especially given the truly complicated situation in Syria. Over the last decades, lives have been ruined and countries destroyed because of Western intervention in the Middle East. Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan still suffer. It would be naive to assume that the outcome in Syria would be any better. We urge the U.S. government to not choose military intervention as the main course of action. Diplomacy must still remain the main path towards the end of the conflict in Syria. We must learn from history and our past miscalculations.
