    Re: Syrians angry after dozens of children killed

    That's one goal. The other possible motives are

    1) Demonstrate that nothing and no one is safe in the hope that your enemy will back down rather than play at the same level. Sometimes this works. Others...

    Ask Bin Laden whether his organization is stronger now than it was pre 9/11.

    2) Simple revenge, possibly for the deaths of your own children. Syria is not a nice place. We aren't dropping bombs on IS forces because we think Assad's regime is all warm and fuzzy. We're doing it because IS forces have pissed us off enough to overlook the fact that by attacking them in Syria we are lending air support to a regime that none of would shed a tear over the annihilation of. As much as I would love to see the IS purged from the earth with fire and sword, never make the error of thinking that the regimes who are most directly benefiting from our actions right now are good. They just aren't problematic enough to be priorities.
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

    Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

      Good points. The story enraged me Just ya. If here there or anywhere Id blow a gasket. Growing up knowing nothing more then its violent as heck there and people are fleeing up. Made me feel like people seriusly need to get it together. Not implying they arent I am just disgusted shaking my head saying enough is enough this needs to stop.

      I know why were fighting them.. I know why we have war rather I agree with it at times is mute.

      I just hope deep down inside they can find some level of peace and coexistense. Not utopia but. some middle ground. What I read and. see sounds like savagery.

      Ill most likely will read that guys blogs Medusa.

      What kind of cold hearedness to carry out this. Revenge on an innocent isnt revenge. You want revenge take it out on the person who muders your child. Whatever reasoning I wont understand I dont want to understand.

      I hope the people that live in those areas get some much needed chaos.
