How to Sell a War; Russian Plan to Avert Syria Strikes

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

With opinions polls suggesting that many around the world are unconvinced of the need for strikes against Syria, how do governments such as the Obama administration turn round people's views? We also look at the feasibility of a plan from Russia that Syria put any chemical weapons under international control to avert the threat of U.S. military action.
