My heart goes out to the people of Syria. Our response, either way will hurt our souls. [View all]
“Over 1400 people were gassed, over 400 of them were children ….. I was elected to end wars, not start them, but there are times we have to make hard choices if we’re going to stand up for the things we care about.”
The clip.

The clip is moving. This situation is so very painful to watch. That Assad would kill his own people and 400 Syrian children so carelessly wounds me. Syria's children, their future, dead. The atrocity is unbelievable, and for what?: Power. It makes me weep.
I for one thank This President for his restrained tears and for his unquestionable compassion.
