President Barack Obama is "gravely" worried about the situation in Syria, the White House says, while Secretary of State John Kerry called the Syrian regime's use of chemical weapons against civilians a "moral obscenity" that "should shock the conscience of the world."

What's not yet clear is whether developments in the Mideast will shock the conscience of the American people enough to win their support for military action.
