Poll: Most Americans say that the United States does not have a responsibility to do something about the fighting in Syria

According to a CNN/ORC International poll, six in ten oppose any American intervention to halt the fighting between government and anti-government forces in Syria. The belief that Syria is not the responsibility of the United States crosses party lines in the survey - 57% of Democrats and 58% of Republicans say that the United States should take no role. Gender sometimes plays a role in public opinion of foreign issues, but in this instance, men and women agree, with 61% in each group saying that the United States has no responsibility to take any action in Syria. Unfortunately, the neocons continue to press for action in Syria.
