Thanks Brin, just adding to what others are saying.

Those responsible should be forced to take responsibility.

Fully agree with some of the recent comments posted earlier regarding politicians. Personal belief is that those who desire to become politicians should be barred from doing so, instead perspective politicians should be chosen on merit and suitability. In addition, each should have at least served in that country's military in some capacity (and not by forged paperwork), ideally in an active service role at the frontline. Only after such experience could such decisions and associated implications be fully understood as part of a balanced decision. Such an approach would not produce a 'weak or indecisive' policy as some assert. But would ensure that if a nation has to use force it will be as an absolute and not as a first comfort measure.

Good point Brin.But sometimes it doesn't always hold true. John Kerry and John McCain are just two that come to mind. In my opinion at least.

ONLY THE DEAD HAVE SEEN THE END OF WAR.

The pictures are moving for sure, but as stated here by a few or more, those who start wars or ignore the ones being fought, need to bury some of those who have died. In some cases and this would be one, a picture being worth a thousand words does not ring true. First hand is the way to go, to see, to smell, and all rest of the senses barraged with the inhumanity of it all.

Good to have you back, Bob and thanks for sharing. Like they say, one can't give directions unless one has been there.
