why all of this is happening because of "the children". Hundreds of thousands have been killed in a senseless civil war that we have no right to be involved in. However, now that the children have been killed (not that there are not many amongst those already killed)
we are ready to bomb Syria to no avail.
Obama himself brings up the dead children in every speech he has made. Sadly, although it is sad, it is no reason to cowboy forward where we do not belong.
