U.S. is taking diplomatic and economic measures to try to stop the Syrian
government from taking military action against its citizens. Which ONE statement
best describes what you think? The U.S. should take military action to help stop
the killing of civilians. The U.S. should provide weapons to the forces inside
Syria opposing the government. The U.S. should provide only humanitarian
assistance to the civilians injured or forced from their homes. OR,
