Americans react to Obama's plan on Syria

U.S. President Barack Obama addressed the nation and urged Americans to support his threat to use military force to neutralize Syria's chemical weapons if diplomacy fails.

Syrians living in Los Angeles agree with Obama.

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ADNAN JAMMAL, FROM SYRIA, SAYING:

"We see that a country like America should help the Syrian people get rid of this murderer, who has killed thousands of people and will not stop there, and is willing to kill millions of people."

(SOUNDBITE) (English) FAWAZ AL HINDI, FROM SYRIA, SAYING:

"Americans don't want to fight this war, that's fine, but let us have the weapons to fight this guy, to stop him from killing our kids and our families and destroying our country. That's enough, two and a half years is enough."

In Los Angeles and New York, Americans have mixed feelings.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) ALEX MILOVANOV, ON SYRIA ISSUE, SAYING:

"War is a bad thing. It's simple but not the right solution."
