I am strongly opposed to American military involvement in Syria. One side is Assad and Iran, and the other side is affiliated with Al Qaeda. We have no business supporting either side. America’s job is to protect our vital national interests and to protect Israel. The Syrian civil war is a tragedy for the innocents involved, but does not affect our vital national security interests. I will be voting ‘no’ on the use of military force in Syria, and will work to encourage my colleagues to do the same.
