Obama versus the world – pravda.ru
Barack Obama, Nobel Peace Prize-winner, states that what is at stake is universal values because “I didn’t set a red line. The world did” in his words.

The ABC-Washington Post poll shows around 60% against missile strikes; the most favourable poll to Obama inside the USA is the Pew Report, which claims that the No vote is close to 50% and the Yes, some 29%.
