A PROJECT OF PACEM IN TERRIS
DON'T BOMB SYRIA
If you've never made a phone call or sent an email to our Congressmen, it is crucial that you do it NOW.As you know, there will be a vote in Congress, probably next week, to give President Obama permission to bomb Syria in punishment for their alleged use of chemical weapons.At the end of this email, you'll find various articles disputing the verification of the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime and also why the US should not engage in this action, even if chemical weapons were used.PLEASE CONTACT OUR CONGRESSMEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND TELL THEM YOU WANT THEM TO VOTE AGAINST BOMBING SYRIA.Note: On the phone, all they do is keep a list of FOR or AGAINST. If you send an email, you can add something like the following: We should maintain constant diplomatic pressure for a negotiated end to the conflict, hold war criminals accountable and expand humanitarian aid for refugees.

"Does the United States usually intervene when chemical weapons are used? Far from it. "As far as I know," the Arms Control Association's Kimball says, "this would be among the first instances when a state's use of chemical weapons would have prompted military action by the US or by others." And Foreign Policy reported this week that unearthed CIA documents show that the United States gave the location of Iranian troops to Iraq in 1988, fully aware that Saddam Hussein's regime was planning to attack Iran with chemical weapons—including sarin."
