16:43Now PlayingPresident Obama's effort to win legislative backing for military strikes against Syria passed its first hurdle on Wednesday when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 10to7 in favor of bombing Syria. We're joined by Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, a leading opponent of the resolution in the House. Grayson has set up a website, Don'tAttackSyria.com, which is gathering signatures for a petition calling on Congress to deny permission to attack Syria. "I am very disturbed by this general idea that every time we see something bad in the world, we should bomb it," Grayson says. "The president has criticized that mindset, and now he has adopted it. It's simply not our responsibility to act alone and punish this."
