Urgent: No U.S. Bombing of Syria!
With another apparent use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government
against the rebels that has killed civilians, the White House seems poised to
take military action in Syria. Call the White House comment line now at
202-456-1111 and say:
"I oppose military intervention and military support in Syria. I support
massive efforts for a political solution and continued humanitarian aid."
Americans strongly oppose the use of troops in another war in the Middle
East. The U.S. would likely seek NATO support in an air campaign with
bombing and missile strikes. If the goal of the bombing was to destroy the
capacity of the Syrian government to use chemical weapons, that would be hard
to achieve. Experts believe that we do not have the intelligence of the
location of all the chemical weapons.
Please call now, 202-456-1111, as the President may make decisions soon.
While arming the rebels may seem a sensible approach, not all the rebels
are the same. In fact, some are supportive of Al Qaeda and other terrorist
groups. Additionally, providing military support is like throwing gasoline
on the fire and does not encourage a political settlement, which is the
only way the violence will end.
With over 100,000 deaths, 4 million people displaced from their homes and
the likely use of chemical weapons, the U.S. does need to take urgent
action. History proves that the military approach will not bring a solution.
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey mentioned recently that the
solution is not a military one.
Hence, the U.S. needs to continue working with Russia to hold the
repeatedly delayed peace talks and must add all key regional actors to those
talks.
Other diplomatic avenues need to be traveled to produce a negotiated
settlement. The U.S. should support the International Criminal Court in
arresting those committing war crimes such as the use of chemical weapons.
And
lastly, continued humanitarian aid and aid to refugees is needed to assist
civilians.
With the 50th anniversary of Peace Action supporter, Reverend Martin
Luther King's "I have a dream speech" this week, we know the power of
nonviolence. Only nonviolent acts will solve the conflict within Syria. Call
the
President now at 202-456-1111.
Humbly for Peace,
Kevin Martin
Executive Director
Peace Action
