Syria Crisis: Barack Obama puts military strike on hold 

September 11th, 2013 
BBC News 
This News article is about why Obama puts the military strike on hold. Obama put the military strike on hold because the chemical weapons being used in Syria are a danger to their security meaning that if the military were to go and fight there many of them may die because of those chemical bombs or weapons. And i highly disagreed when Obama said this because even though some soldiers may die there are way more people (innocent people) dying because of the war and terrorism in Syria  And one person said that 'Not acting towards this issue, is more harmful and Acting' And another person said that instead of Obama running his mouth about how he 'might' make this situation better he should of already done something. But later on when Obama heard that the regime gassed its own citizens on Aug 21, killing 1,429 people, including 426 children he changed his mind about not sending the military to Syria. So if Obama does send out the order to give a strike some or most of this war will go away and Assad will be taken out.
