New poll: Syria intervention even less popular than Congress

As this article states, only nine percent of Americans favor military intervention in Syria.

Despite that, it appears that the US government is already making plans to deploy troops and missiles. Obama is currently meeting with advisers who are requesting military action based on questionable reports that Assad has used chemical weapons on civilians. This flies in the face of UN findings that the US-backed rebels are actually the ones using the chemical weapons.

UN accuses Syrian rebels of chemical weapons use - Telegraph

As a pacifist, I am very much opposed to any kind of military intervention in the middle east right now. I would support sending food, medical aid and clothing or tents for the thousands of refugees left homeless in surrounding countries. America can not afford another war. The majority of us do not support this. And yet, it is happening despite everyone's protests.
