the latest fascinating stuff coming out of london. just before that i spoke with a former state department official, now the president on the council of foreign relations. seem that there is something of a pause in the rush strike syria. is this the right thing to be doing? >> i actually agree with you that there is something of a pause. i think this is a healthy thing. all of this talking about what we are likely to do seems to dilute the impact, certainly on the receiving side. because the u.s. government has to spend so much time reassuring those who fear that this is going to become some kind of a quagmire. so every time the obama administration works to reassure that we are not doing too much they remove some of the menace of what this would mean for syrians. >> if this is a strike -- there better be a strike that is effective. >> it will have to have impact. something that is robust. the idea is to underscore the idea that chemical weapons or any weapons of mass destruction cannot be used with impunity. >> you know more than man

cnbc's jim cutmore live in london looking at some of the other headlines. >> good morning to you. you remember way back in february, let me drag you back there, brian, when they announced this american airlines/usairways merger. $11 billion the price tag. a lot of chatter about how that was going to restructure the sector. i guess the question still remains, are we looking at higher airfares and less seats? they've looked into this story, "the wall street journal," and interesting. they say maybe it doesn't go that way because this was a deal about expansion, not about cutting capacity. so the conclusions ultimately it may not cost the consumer more in terms of air ticket prices. so i guess that's not bad news. facebook coming up with a new app. they've sat down with open table so you can now go through facebook to book a table at your favorite restaurant as long as it's part of the open table service. i guess that makes life a little bit easier if you are on your facebook page and you are just thinking, huh, i could do with going somewhere decent for lunch to talk about a new bus
