In Washington, the political wheels have been turning.President Obama has been meeting with lawmakers and sending key Cabinet members to Congress to make the case for a military response.But across much of America, where summer vacations have ended and kids are heading back to school, many people are weary.We've been in perpetual wars.It's just one ends, another starts, one man said.Strategic military attacks were going to happen in Iraq, and we're still there 10 years later, and it bankrupted the country, noted another man.So, why go through that again?That reluctance to get involved in Syria is clear in the latest polls.A Washington Post/ABC News poll finds 59 percent of Americans oppose U.S. missile strikes on Syria compared to 36 percent in favor.Another poll, by the Pew Research Center, finds 48 percent of Americans opposing strikes with only 29 percent in favor.But what if the U.S. doesn't go it alone and has help from other countries, like Britain or France?In that case, support for action rises to 46 percent, though more than half of Americans still say no.And despite the case being made by the president, for lots of people there are still too many what ifs?Americans need to be sure of outcomes if we are going to become engaged in any kind of war, explained independent pollster John Zogby.
在华盛顿,美国政治的车轮正在转动。奥巴马总统一直在会见国会议员并且将关键内阁成员派往国会推行军事打击。但美国的大部分地区,那里的夏天假期已经结束,孩子们刚刚返回学校,许多人都感到疲倦。我们一直处于永恒的战争中。一场刚刚结束,另一场又马上到来,一个男人说道。战略军事打击曾发生在伊拉克,10年后我们仍然在那里,而且它花光了这个国家的钱,另一个人说道。所以,为什么要重蹈覆辙?最新的民意调查显示美国民众已经很明确不愿牵涉叙利亚。华盛顿邮报及美国广播公司的民意调查显示相比36%的赞成，59%的美国人反对美国导弹打击叙利亚。另一项皮尤研究中心的民意调查发现48%的美国人反对军事打击，只有29%的人赞成。但如果美国不单干，而是帮助像是英国或法国等其他国家会怎样呢?在这种情况下,军事打击支持率上升到46%,但超过半数的美国人仍然说不。尽管这是总统做出的决定,然而很多人仍然有太多的如果?如果我们要介入任何形式的战争美国人需要一定的结果。独立民意测验专家约翰・佐格比解释道。
