    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.
