Simple Yes or No: Do You Support U.S. Involvement in Syria

[dynasaw]

I am not a star member and can't do a poll so your yes/ no answer will have to do.

Interested in the general feeling about yet another foreign involvement.

[NuclearDem]

1. Militarily, no.

Humanitarian aid to help the refugees fleeing Syria, absolutely.

3. Black...

No wait, white.

Boiling complex situations down to a simple yes-or-no question is not a good idea. It tends to become flame-bait by default.

[SaltyBro]

4. Absolutely not

[Egalitarian Thug]

5. Not directly, no. n/t

[newfie11]

6. NOOOOO!!!!

[rdharma]

7. No. nt

[bowens43]

8. No

[JaneyVee]

9. Judicially, yes. Militarily, no.

[JimDandy]

10. Where do YOU stand?

You're a very low poster, even after 5 years on DU, and apparently have so little interest in what's going on here that you haven't recommended anything on this site, yet you want others to give their 'recommends' on what you're interested in?

[Recursion]

11. Yo. Or possibly "Nes"

Nothing is as simple as that abstract question.

[MotherPetrie]

13. No.

[Arctic Dave]

14. NO.

[JoePhilly]

15. "Involvement" .... ??

Geeze ... that word includes everything from ... diplomatic meetings to a total full scale invasion.

[snooper2]

16. I think Israel should do it

They can get their final holy war out of the way and be done with it once and for all-

[alc]

17. simple answer: yes

If you want to get more complex and discuss different types of involvement I'll have more complex answers. CIA? NSA? Press? Military/Air/Ground? UN? NATO? Goals/purposes of any of those?

[sabrina 1]

18. No!

[ananda]

19. A not so simple no that means no involvement anywhere in the ME.

..

[G_j]

20. No!

[magical thyme]

21. military: no; political/humanitarian: yes. nt

[hamsterjill]

22. Not at the present time.

I simply remember that there were no WMD's, and I'm going to need more convincing than what I've seen presented at this point.

I don't believe, either, that this will be a short-lived conflict if indeed a conflict begins.

Plus, it's not like we have any pressing problems at home or anything, right???!!! (Sarcasm, of course.)

[onyourleft]

23. No. n/t

[mike_c]

24. no

eom

[B Calm]

25. NO!!!

[Harmony Blue]

26. No.

[Vashta Nerada]

27. No.

[snappyturtle]

28. NO

[The Stranger]

29. No

No one -- NO ONE NO ONE NO ONE -- wants the U.S. to intervene militarily.

This has all the workings of PNAC or some Neocon shit going on.

The rebels fighting Assad don't even want the U.S. involved -- except to arm them with weapons so they can have a "fair fight."

[malaise]

30. NO n/t

[LibDemAlways]

31. No

[X_Digger]

32. No. n/t

[drhobo]

33. no!

We should mind our own business

[Pab Sungenis]

34. No.

Not in the least.

[bhikkhu]

35. There is no simple answer

I support a good outcome and peace in the middle east. I support the rule of law and international law.

I hope for the best, but I don't know which is the best way to go in Syria. Either option could be a bad outcome, and both options could be harmful to international law - if a chemical attack is ignored, or if the UN is bypassed in responding to the attack.

In any case, it is a world problem much more than an Obama and the MIC problem. So far.

[rock]

36. No

[samplegirl]

37. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Octafish]

38. For Peace, yes.

To make war, no. That's a PNAC wet dream on the way to their hot date in Tehran.

[avebury]

39. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nt

[Supersedeas]

40. We simply need more information

About the justification for military intervention AND the scope/nature of US military involvement?

[Enthusiast]

41. No

[TorchTheWitch]

42. hell no

We have no business policing the world in their own affairs. We don't even know if chemical weapons were used or who used them. We can't afford this shit, and need to be spending our tax dollars to the benefit of the American people here at home. Jobs are scarce, our infrastructure is shit, we keep shaving more and more off of social safety nets and all so we can go bombing the crap out of some other country for no legitimate reason making the 1% even more fat and happy.
