The latest events in Syria are more than
terrifying. After chemical weapons were released thousands of people
including children died, many were injured and poisoned. According to the
latest news president Obama stated there will be a military strike against Syria.
It is “…designed to serve as punishment for Syria’s use of chemical weapons
and as a deterrent, while keeping the United States out of deeper involvement
in that country’s civil war, according to senior administration officials.”*
What a sentence…it just leaves you speechless…
I don`t know who to blame and whether there
is right and wrong in this situation. But I saw the photos and the videos
full of death, tears and despair. And I wonder…since the human kind lived
for so long and brought so many wars and destruction, didn`t we overcome
it? Haven`t we already learned how to deal with each other without
killing each other?
A thought has come to me lately… should one be
proud or ashamed to call oneself human?
My heart goes with the civil Syrian people and
their families and I pray to God no other person to be harmed in
whatever military action is to come…
