A new poll by The Sun shows that Britons oppose a missile strike against Syria by a factor of 2-to-1.

A survey in Germany also shows that 69% of the German people were against a military strike on Syria.

International debate is raging on fact-finding about an alleged chemical attack in Syria which US is using as pretext to bomb the Arab country.

The US has failed to provide evidence of its accusations against Syria while international condemnation grows against its military ambitions.

The US claims come as Syria has already provided UN with evidences on at least three chemical attacks carried out by US-backed militants near the Syrian capital of Damascus.
