US government Senators don't answer to the American people. The CIA-backed coup attempt in Syria is/was the least popular military action in America of my lifetime. It didn't matter. And Obama was president when it took place. The American right that cheered George Bush and the illegal invasion of Iraq are now the leading voices against war in the Middle East (China & Russia are a different story). It's the connected, political class that supports these wars for empire. Because they are given lies to accept and they do. They eat up the "White Helmets" nonsense on Netflix. But the portion of America that signs up to join the military IS against these wars.
