For attacking its citizens with chemical weapons
on August 21, president Barack Obama wants the
US to take military action against Syria and is now
seeking congressional authorization to intervene.
The Syrian government carried out chemical
weapons attack in Damascus in the early hours of
August 21, killing at least 1,400 people as they
slept in their homes. Although the government is
denying being behind the attack, president
Obama says the military action against Syria is
necessary to deter future chemical attacks...not
only in Syria but other governments thinking of
doing same.
"We cannot and will not turn a blind eye to
what happened in Damascus. What message
are we sending out if a dictator can gas
hundreds of children to death in plain sight
without paying a price" Obama said
Once the US congress reconvenes on September
9th, president Obama will have his answer. Do
you think the US should take any military action
against Syria? Meanwhile Britain has said they will
not take part in any military action against Syria
but UK Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted
that "he understands and supports president
Obama's position"

Do you think that he should do that?
