Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Americans say the United States does not have a responsibility to do something about the conflict. Similar percentages oppose the prospect of a U.S.-load coalition strike on Syrian military forces in the name of protecting anti-government groups, as was done in Libya. Also unpopular was he notion of aiding the opposition with arms and military supplies..<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A survey conducted March 7-11 found this opposition to be bipartisan. Majorities of both Republicans and Democrats said that the U.S. did not have a responsibility to get involved and opposed both air strikes (62%) and military assistance (63%).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the run up to the to the allied bombing campaign in Libya last year, 69% of Americans opposed arming anti-government rebels and 77% opposed bombing Libyan air defenses.
