We urge you to show real leadership in protecting the people of Syria with a more creative, effective, and prudent approach than military action. • Galvanize world leaders to demand a multilateral cease-fire • Arrange to evacuate people who choose to flee harm’s way • Care for the evacuees • Assist with re-settlement once the civil war has ended Do not be fooled into thinking that war-making will protect or defend a population.
Why is this important?
The U.S. needs to seek international peace-keeping means through the United Nations to bring about a cease-fire among Syria's warring factions. Bombing Syria is not going to bring about peace, but may in fact lead to a wider war in the Middle East. The use of chemical weapons is a crime against humanity; but bombing Syria to show that the use of chemical weapons is wrong compounds the killing of people and will lead to more violence, bloodshed and death.
