The comments on New York Times articles about Obama's proposal tend to be against any military action with some support for military action. Apparently popular opinion throughout the country is against any military action. Apparently the political leadership in Congress seems to be for military action.
Fortunately, some congresspeople are not following the political crowd. See "Following Classified Briefings, Nolan Will 'Vote and Work Against' U.S. Attack on Syria", Rep. Rick Nolan, 2013-09-03

I added my own little comment to "House Leaders Express Their Support for Syria Strike", Mark Landler, Michael R. Gordon, and Thom Shanker, New York Times, 2013-09-03:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
"[O]nly the dead have seen the end of war."
– George Santayana
No matter what your opinion, be sure to send email to the President, your Representative, and both of your Senators. They might not read your email, but rest assured their staffs are putting them in pro and con "piles".
Oh, yeah! Remember that little incident in Sarajevo? How many millions died because of all the miscalculations?
