She wrote me back. Dear Ms. Wright: Thank you for contacting me regarding the conflict in Syria. As your representative in Congress, I value your input and want to you know I stand opposed to military intervention. While the recent chemical attack on Syrian citizens is an atrocious crime, it is still unclear who is on the other side of this conflict. As such, I am opposed to the United States entering into military action in Syria. We cannot continue to act as the world’s police force in areas of the world where our help is not wanted. Even if opposition forces are willing to enter into a marriage of convenience in the short term, given what we know, we cannot and must not choose sides in this conflict and send America’s blood and treasure fighting on behalf of elements infected with Al Qaeda who do not like us, do not share our values, and mean to do us harm in the long term. Please be assured I will advocate against the use of U.S. force in Syria as the debate continues. Thank you again for contacting me. Please never hesitate to call, email, or write if you have any issues or concerns on your mind.
