Again the Syrian regime have used chemical weapons against innocent civilians.

The civilised world will not let it go unchallenged and rightly so.

Thank you Andrea, I wasn't aware of SA until that girl put a poem on about the problems there.It was POTD a few weeks ago.It must be a terrible place to be in right now. So much conflict and hatred in this world. Tom.

So much said in so few words, the title invokes fear in most people, but true Armageddon is God's war against his enemies, now we have to figure out if we're on the right side. A thoughtful write Tom!

Thank you Demetrios, It's a shame that people can't talk any more, The only talking that is done now is with weapons. There are no winners. Tom.

Thank you Joe, what is it about mankind that he can treat his fellow human beings in this way.There's been conflict since time began and your right, we don't learn from past mistakes. Tom.

An excellent senyru! Has there ever been world peace? It's an horrific situation that's impossible to ignore. And we probably don't know all of it yet. A timely write, thought provoking.

Thanks Nette, Nobody wants conflict but these evil regimes make it hard to look away. You cant talk to these people all they understand is violence. God help mankind. Tom

Thanks Ilene, used on their own people, unforgivable, the scenes on TV were very distressing. Tom

Thanks Sunshine, all we can do is pray things don't escalate, but maybe that's wishful thinking. Tom.

I hope the final line is never world war is looming .... but who knows what will happen next, such scary times we live in Tom:-( hugs jan xx

Indeed they are Jan, but we ignore it at our peril, already Russia has used a nerve agent in the UK and it's not the first time.It was often said WW3 would start in the middle east, I hope that's wrong.I know one thing for sure mankind will be cause of his own destruction. Tom.
