(37,364 posts)I also didn't get the impression that this is open-ended either and I do think that he was asking for people to come together to give thought and support to a reasonable solution to the problem of chemical weapon stockpiled in Syria. AND when I see those dead kids, I understand that, had the Iran-Iraq war gotten more lopsided back in the 80s and similar weapons used on the western edge of Iran made it to Tehran, those could have been my kids. We all need to give a tinker's dam about reducing this type of weaponry in the world and we definitely should care about those they have been used against. There were more than dead kids from that attack, there were survivors too who will live with the injury and disability brought on by a ruthless man's disregard for part of his people whose existence had become inconvenient for him. I really find it intensely disturbing to hear these deaths dismissed as a nuisance to be acknowledged.
