Two years of civil war have consumed the nation of Syria, and now also consumes Americans as some fear that a U.S. military strike against Syria could be imminent.
Those who attended a rally Sunday night in Iowa City were fiercely opposed to war in Syria, but simultaneously mourned the devastation and human rights violations in the nation.
Now community members await a congressional vote on a Syrian solution, and want their voices heard too.
PEACE Iowa and the Iowa Veterans for Peace joined the community Sunday at the rally, where people discussed, debated, and mourned the devastation in Syria.
