Syria crisis: Barack Obama puts military strike on hold

President Barack Obama has decided to put his military actions against Syria on hold so that they can remove them of their chemical weapons, but in a more peaceful way. The US has been suspecting that Syria was holding chemical weapons for a while now and Damascus has finally admitted that they have been holding chemical weapons. Syria has agreed to abide with Russia's plan to hand over their chemical weapons. But President Obama has ordered the military to maintain their current position to keep pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and to be in position to attack if diplomacy fails.

I think that if the Syrian's don't hand over their chemical weapons, The US should fight against the Syrians until they find their chemical weapons and destroy them. I believe this should happen because many people in Syria have already died from these chemical weapons and if the US doesn't do anything to stop them Syria will start using them against other countries and it will lead to destruction
