"Obama: Strikes ‘absolutely’ on hold if Syria quits chemical arms" - Natalie H. - Class 2



The author of this article is Oliver Knox, a news reporter for Yahoo! who mainly focuses on US and world relations. He pin points Obama’s hesitancy to act upon the recent bombing in Syria.
This article was produced somewhere in America on September 9th, 2013, about 5 or more hours ago. The Syria bombing is still in the current new, and congress is still figuring out how America will act upon the situation.
I know that Syria was recently bombed and more than 1,400 people were killed, including a majority of children. The media picked up the news and spread like wild fire. Our congress is currently debating when and how they want to send reinforcements to aid Syria.
This article was written for the general public- mainly Americans, to bring them up to speed of the bombing crises and our world relation.  Everyone is waiting to see who will make a move next, and how the US will act upon this- no one knows how it will go down.
This news was meant to explain the President’s actions upon supporting other countries in Asia, allies or not. America is known as the land of the free, and America wants to give that freedom to others as well (as efficiently as possible).
This is a good subject in how much plotting goes into war matters-the question is, how will we act in our world relations, and when we do, will we act before matters get worse? Before we are targeted again as well?
