美国公众坚决拒绝了奥巴马严惩阿萨德反复使用化学武器的导弹袭击计划，而且最近一次皮尤民调显示多数美国人认为“美国应该在国际上管好自己的事务，让其他国家依靠自己的力量，能做到什么程度就做到什么程度。 ”
The US public sharply rejected Obama’s planned missile strikes to punish Assad for the repeated use of chemical weapons, and a recent Pew poll indicates that a majority of Americans believe that the US “should mind its own business internationally and let other countries get along the best they can on their own.”
