<p>The war in Syria is worsening and President Obama
has pledged to help arm the opposition to the
regime of President Assad. At this point Obama has
promised small arms even though the vast majority
of U.S. citizens do not want the U.S. to
intervene. But war-hawks want to go further and
try to create a no fly zone, provide heavy
weapons, use cruise missiles to attack key targets
and do whatever else they can to ensure the Assad
regime falls. Join us for a panel briefing on
Syria discussing what is happening to Syrians,
what next and how we can push for no U.S.
intervention and pursue avenues to end the
violence. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>June 26th 8:30 PM ET/ 5:30 PT<br>
