Dear Mr. President. Whatever you decided to do, please do not make your action my name.... [View all]

or anyone else know. Many of my friends and I have discussed the current situation is Syria. No matter bad had things are for those poor people, It is not our job to interfere. Nobody supports it.

The last fiasco (IraQ) didn't work, this will be far worse.
Our children and theirs will be paying in lives and treasure for as long as we keep up this warmongering.

I'm an old timer, seen wars since WW11, I'm sick of it. We americans need the dollars you are wasting to be spent at home.

I will not be around long enough to see world peace but I can dream, cant I ?

NO MORE WARS!
