Over a million mostly liberal war protesters marching in the streets had no impact on the last few wars. Politicians don´t care about their opinions because the right/Republicans know they will never get their vote, and Democrats know that liberals have no choice but to continue to vote for the lesser evil. The fact is that the left has virtually no political power nationally, especially in foreign policy.
It seems that many on the right are finally starting to see the light and oppose the war with Syria. Many others oppose it only because it is Obama´s war, not their own. Usually it is the rightwing that goads politicians into starting wars with their constant talk of appeasement and insecurity that peaceful solutions to conflicts make the USA appear weak.
Since they have all the political power on this issue, it is up to conservatives and centrists to stop the war. If tea partiers, conservatives, centrists and libertarians sincerely oppose unnecessary government spending this is their time to step up.
