Well, sorry folks no photo, out of respect for the family, however, I have seen 1000's of photos of the Syrian war, 300,000 dead, and the world sits idly by. I have a much harsher poem, about this topic, will have to think about posting it, before I do, if I do.

Obama drew his mighty line in the sand Dare ye not to cross me Assad replied in kind Gassing thousands and laughing A little Syrian boy has drowned Siblings to weak to cross that mighty line Salvation was the evasive dream Father shall never escape the nightmares

The leaders have their 'weapons' by which to 'deal' with international crises; very often they are ineffective; however your pen, Arthur, appears to be more powerful! // paul
