The protests against this dictatorship have grown for almost a year, as has the brutal military response. Members of the regular Syrian Army have defected to the Free Syrian Army. Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas support Syria. The Russians and Chinese vetoed a UN resolution for a non-violent solution to the conflict, and Russia, like Iran, is arming the government. All nonviolent solutions are exhausted. The Free Army is outgunned. The overthrow of Assad is in America's national interest; it will deprive Iran of a critical ally and break its link with Hezbollah and Hamas.

Stop making war around the globe. Use funds from guns and ammo to build schools and feed the people. Peace is not created with guns and hate. We are more powerful without war.

We just got done fighting in Iraq and we are still in Afghanistan. We don't need to get into a war with Iran. We are in a huge debt. Let's focus on America and no one else.

Every war ever fought has been instigated by men. Women have stood passively by and permitted this throughout all of history. We have stood by and let our sons and daughters fight and die for issues that could have been resolved peaceably through diplomacy. Now, men in Israel and Iran are provoking a war that may end all wars. Women of the world, take control and petition your leaders to prevent this. Stop the senseless and stupid violence and petition your leaders for diplomatic solutions to differences. The custom of sending our children to kill other children to prove the points of the older men who run countries has to stop. We must advance beyond this barbaric custom and advance to civilized discussion and diplomatic resolution of differences.

Obama can not possibly attack Iran..tho the powers that be fully intend him to. An illegal attack on Iran would trigger WW3 and further destabilize the planet. It is time for Obama to wake up, and take a real stand for the planet and her peoples.

We have been fighting in these immoral not to say illegal wars for more then a decade now and have nothing to show for it but more innocent lives lost and a greater threat to the American people. If you like me, and the majority of our great soldiers, are sick and tired of these wars please sign this petition.

Saving lives of Black Hawk Rescue Mission crews by allowing these helicopters to be armed when flying into enemy territory in Afghanstan.

We ended the war in Iraq, and suddenly our economy is improving. Could it be a result of spending less money on war? The people of Afganistan are becoming more negative towards the U.S. Ending the war before the election could possibly completely turn around our economic position, and keep Obama in office.

The problems in the Middle East have gone on long enough. the rest of the world is united on Palestinian statehood and it's time for America to get on board. We are against democracy? We are against freedom? We are against fair representation?

"No-Bid Contracts" are not capitalism; they are "Fixed Capitalism." We need to quit spending money on other countries, like Iraq and Afghanistan, and spend that money on this nation's infrastructure to create badly needed jobs! We need to "Put Country First!"

We want the US to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan within six months. There's no hope of "winning" there. Both the government and the Taliban are corrupt. We've spent too much money, too many lives there.

After investigating the nature of the late November NATO/Afghan attack upon an unmarked Pakistani military outpost, the United States must accept culpability for egregious errors that resulted in the death of 24 soldiers among many more who were injured. While Pakistan has not been the partner that America has desired, these soldiers' lives are as valuable as any other. President Obama should apologize to Pakistan and those officers who are culpable for this tragedy should be held to account.
