7/30: Sign Petition: NO U.S. MILITARY INTERVENTION IN SYRIA!
TO: PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS We urge you to reject
any military intervention in Syria, including arming the rebels or creating
a no-fly zone, and instead to focus on increasing humanitarian assistance
through the United Nations and building active multi-lateral diplomacy
without preconditions with all involved parties for an immediate ceasefire, a
full arms embargo, and negotiations to end Syria’s civil war......
_This is how our petition starts to President Obama on stopping
intervention in Syria, Can you sign it? _

And Why is this important?
You can’t put out a raging fire by pouring gasoline on one side of it.
There is no military solution to the crisis in Syria, and more arms to any
side mean more civilians will be killed.
Any U.S. military intervention holds the threat of unplanned escalation,
and ultimately a quagmire. It is much easier to send planes, bombs and
missiles than it is to get out – especially if a plane is shot down or a pilot
captured. There is no exit strategy for Syria and even a “no-fly zone”
could easily become a costly quagmire.
The situation in Syria today is full-scale civil war, which denies the
people of Syria their right to choose their own government and leaders. Other
governments arming and financing the two sides does not restore that right,
it only makes things worse. The U.S.-Russian initiative known as Geneva II
talks should be pushed forward, involving all the relevant outside actors,
especially those providing weapons and military or economic support to any
side. The U.S. should stop trying to prevent Iran’s participation in the
talks – any serious diplomacy requires everyone to be at the table. On the
Syrian side, negotiations must include not only the Syrian government and
the armed rebels, but organizations representing Syrian civil society
including unarmed opposition forces, Syria's minority communities, women, and
youth.
