US Attack on Syria Would Circumvent Constitution, Intl Law
War drums grow louder as familiar tactics used to garner support for military action that only 9 percent of Americans support

As a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll shows, support for further U.S. military involvement in Syria—whether called by its real name, "war," or the government's preferred euphemism, "intervention"—stands at a mere 9 percent.
Well aware of its own citizens' reluctance to embark on yet another military misadventure in the Middle East region after more than a decade of wars, it appears that the Obama administration, led by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday is eager to try its hand at shifting public opinion by employing what war critics see as familiar arguments and lofty rhetoric.
But as the Independent's Patrick Cockburn writes, "only a peace conference, not air strikes, can stop further bloodshed."

OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESS:
Dear congressional Representative,
The WSJ has documented the propaganda (lies) that have been spread to induce support for a military attack on Syria.
It is understood that Israel has already announced the US is going to attack.
History reveals that EVERY military action by the US for the past 150 years has been the result of LIES spread by the MSM to gain public support.
Are you going to allow more lies to be used to further the objectives of Israel ??? at the price of the blood of our sons and daughters ??? funded by the earnings of our children ??? all to further the interests of Israel ???
I DO WISH A REPLY.
Your constituent,
