<br />
Last time I read about the <a href="ttp://projects.nytimes.com/live-dashboard/syria" target="_blank">Syrian civil</a> war that is currently being fought between forces loyal to the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/795115.stm" target="_blank">Ba'ath governmen</a>t and those seeking to oust it, I didn't see any mentioning of children taking on the role of soldiers or rebels in the two-year long civil war.<br />
<br />
However there are more than <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/world/syrian-civil-war-claims-11000-child-victims-20131125-2y5zm.html" target="_blank">11,000 children</a> who have been died in a war being fought by uncivilized grown-ups.One hundred twenty-eight of the children who were killed died of chemical weapons, according to a <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-25055956" target="_blank">British group</a>.<br />
<br />
According to <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-25055956" target="_blank">The Oxford Research Group study</a> "764 children were summarily executed and 389 killed by sniper fire." <br />
<br />
The Oxford Research Group study report is terribly disturbing.Even though no children initiated the Syrian conflict or apart of the arm forces participating in the armed conflict they are being targeted viciously.<br />
<br />
The children living in the Syrian war zones have to live in constant fear and wonder if they will die in a conflict they do not even understand.<br />
<br />
I don't know why children are being killed in the war or even being perceived as enemies.<br />
I do know that any person willing to kill an innocent child is a person who should be captured and put <br />

After reading a <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/19/us-syria-crisis-chemical-idUSBRE9AI19H20131119" target="_blank">Reuters</a> article about the current dilemma the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is having in finding a place to destroy Syria's chemical weapons I became frustrated. <br />
<br />
It appears that it's easier to kill hundreds of children with these evil poisons rather than to simply find some place to contain the evil devils and destroy them.<br />
<br />
According to <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/19/us-syria-crisis-chemical-idUSBRE9AI19H20131119" target="_blank">Reuters</a>, some sources say that Syria's chemical weapons could be destroyed at sea.<br />
However the OPCW stressed that there has been no decision made to destroy the chemical weapons at sea.<br />
<br />
However the OPCW did say that destroying chemical weapons at sea was " technically feasible."<br />
Even though technically Syria's chemical weapons could be destroyed at sea Ralf Trapp, an independent chemical disarmament specialist, said "Syria's stockpile would require more complex treatment than the World War Two bombs that Japan found on the seabed, raised and destroyed off the port of Kanda from 2004-06."<br />
<br />
Trapp also said that burning them in a process known as hydrolysis would also be a potentially dangerous process due to the environmental pollution problems the burning process could create.<br />
<br />
<br />
After reading the <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/19/us-syria-crisis-chemical-idUSBRE9AI19H20131119" target="_blank">"Exclusive:Syria's chemical weapons may be destroyed at sea,</a>" I realized something.<br />
And that something is that it is easier to do evil than good.People can easily kill others and terrorize our the world.<br />
<br />
However finding ways to prevent such terrifying atrocities such as the killing of children with chemical poisons is our societies most difficult task.<br />
<br />
I want to keep believing and having faith in knowing that some how some way good will prevail over evil and this world will be a better place.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080052400130139619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906546171547170347.post-54687112818813784382013-11-18T16:42:00.000-08:002013-11-19T16:45:06.149-08:00Now that the Syrian chemical weapon beasts have been tamed, whats next? <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Washington Post reported, <a href="ttp://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/amid-syrias-civil-war-a-40-foot-statue-of-jesus-rises-on-mountain-top-between-front-lines/2013/11/02/39f0eabe-43bd-11e3-b028-de922d7a3f47_story.html" target="_blank">"in the midst of a conflict rife with sectarianism , a giant bronze statute of Jesus has gone up on a Syrian mountain, apparently under cover of a truce among three factions in the country's civil war."</a><br />
<br />
According to the Washington Post,<a href="ttp://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/amid-syrias-civil-war-a-40-foot-statue-of-jesus-rises-on-mountain-top-between-front-lines/2013/11/02/39f0eabe-43bd-11e3-b028-de922d7a3f47_story.html" target="_blank">"Al-Ghad ban said that the main armed groups in the area Syrian government forces,rebels and local militias of Sednaya, the Christian town near the statute site-halted fire while organizers set up the statute." </a><br />
<br />
On the Cherubim mountain<a href="ttp://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/amid-syrias-civil-war-a-40-foot-statue-of-jesus-rises-on-mountain-top-between-front-lines/2013/11/02/39f0eabe-43bd-11e3-b028-de922d7a3f47_story.html" target="_blank">"Jesus stands arms outstretched , over looking a route pilgrims took from Constantinople to Jerusalem in ancient time."</a><br />
<br />
When I read about this amazing development in the ongoing Syrian conflict I wished a statute of Jesus could have could have influenced the Ghouta attackers to refrain from firing missiles containing lethal chemical materials.<br />
<br />
I couldn't help but wonder if there had been a massive statute of the Son of God in the Markaz Rif Dimashq suburbs, if Ghouta attackers would have felt condemned before they unleashed their evil wrath just by seeing the Good Shepherds' face.<br />
<br />
I wish a statute of Jesus would give the Syrian rebels and militias and other other forces love peace and grace.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I have seen a lot of things in my life time. I have seen a lot
of ugly things. I have seen the evil<br />
inside of man. I once saw
a young man bleeding from a gunshot wound right under my window.<br />
<br />
I even saw deceased person laying on a busy street pavement while
on a rainy day.I have seen monstrous disasters like the <a href="http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/world/2006-12-25-tsunami-anniversary_x.htm">2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that took 230,000 </a> people chance away<br />
from seeing
another <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f1c232;">sunny</span> day.<br />
<br />
On television I have seen riots, masses of angry protestors and mobs.
While riding on the Chicago<br />
CTA 'L'I have even seen people robbed.
Nothing prepared me for the things I have seen. Just<br />
as quick as my eye blinks I am consistently bearing witness to another evil thing.<br />
<br />
Some things I have seen may have
been Gods will.
Other things I have seen had me believing<br />
that on this day God must have
been ill.God must have had a bad day and needed to some time<br />
to chill.<br />
<br />
When I saw a baby victim of the Ghouta attack struggling to hold on to
every breath I wished<br />
my eyes could see no evil or witness human suffering
and pain.
I almost wished I was blind so<br />
I could no longer see hell on earth again.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080052400130139619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906546171547170347.post-78660662568606372872013-10-30T08:25:00.002-07:002013-10-30T08:29:31.740-07:00What are chemical weapons and what are they supposed to be used for? <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/j0GYyYX-eAk" width="420"></iframe>
<br />
Chemical weapons or rather chemical agents have been used since <a href="http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/poison_gas_and_world_war_one.htm">World War1</a>
to injure, demoralize and kill individuals considered to be an opposition
force, rebel or enemies in times or war. They have also been used by radical
terrorist seeking to make a social or political statement.<br />
<br />
In the YouTube video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0GYyYX-eAk">Truthloader</a> channel talks about what chemical weapons
are and what legitimate purposes they are sussposed to be used for such as
preventing"the multiplication of cells, or as fumigants, herbicides or insecticides"
according to<a href="http://www.opcw.org/about-chemical-weapons/what-is-a-chemical-weapon/"> Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.</a><br />
<br />
Although chemical weapons can be used for positive purposes throughout history
these agents have been used to destroy like and eradicate thousands of people.
Just like cocaine, chemical weapons were not considered to be socially destructive
or even dangerous a few decades ago.<br />
<br />
<b>However humans began to use chemical weapons irresponsibly
and for their own selfish reasons.</b><br />
<br />
Leaders of countries and radical groups desperately seeking to obtain control
and demonstrate that they have power has relied of chemical weapons in the same manner that coke heads rely on cocaine.<br />
<br />
The more frequently these weapons are used
for evil the more corrupt our world is gradually becoming.
It seems that now whenever a leader or radical group wants to fend off their
enemies or silence their critics they rely on chemical weapons to do the job
for them instead of simply having face to face discussions,debates or making
compromises with each other.<br />
<br />
I don't believe God intended for humankind to settle their disputes with<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">
poisoning</span> each other and causing <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">massive human suffering</span> just to say they
were the last one to have the last word in an argument.
But somehow our society has grown to believe that they must used chemical
weapons as their new boxing gloves as they are lethal fighting each other
in a boxing ring until they both sides are completely knocked out.

Jim Galloway I began to feel a bit nervous after reading what <a href="http://www.chambliss.senate.gov/public/index.cfm">U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss </a><br />
said to Galloway sat down and talked to him.<br />
<br />
Senator Chambliss said<i><a href="http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/political-insider/2013/oct/22/saxby-chambliss-worry-about-syrias-chemical-weapon/">"Im concerned about the movement of weapons out of Syria into </a></i><br />
<i><a href="http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/political-insider/2013/oct/22/saxby-chambliss-worry-about-syrias-chemical-weapon/">another country,so we don't have an opportunity to destroy them.</a></i><br />
<br />
The senator also said <i><a href="http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/political-insider/2013/oct/22/saxby-chambliss-worry-about-syrias-chemical-weapon/">"That's why I'm concerned about it. I'm not saying they are moving </a></i><br />
<i><a href="http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/political-insider/2013/oct/22/saxby-chambliss-worry-about-syrias-chemical-weapon/">them,but there's too much in the way of opportunity, because we don't know where all </a></i><br />
<i><a href="http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/political-insider/2013/oct/22/saxby-chambliss-worry-about-syrias-chemical-weapon/">the weapons are.I'm not sure Assad himself knows where all the weapons are." </a></i><br />
<br />
<i><a href="http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/political-insider/2013/oct/22/saxby-chambliss-worry-about-syrias-chemical-weapon/">"If they get in the hands of Hezbollah,it could present real problems,"</a></i> he said.<br />
<br />
As I thought about what he said I wondered how many different types of chemical<br />
weapons will Syria hide under there bed or in their closet or bury in the ground.<br />
<br />
I wondered how which one of Syria's neighbors will hold on to their weapons for<br />
safe keeping even as <a href="http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2013/10/14/syria-joins-un-chemical-weapons-pact-0">Syria has joined the Chemical Weapons pact</a>.<br />
<br />
I wonder if some of the chemical weapons will be sold to some psycho dictator<br />
that anxious to show the world what his government is working with.<br />
<br />
Well I guess I will just keep wondering about it and pray that after Russia<br />
helps Syria remove the weapons Syria has chosen to display that these<br />
weapons are not unleashed on women, men and children ever again.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080052400130139619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4906546171547170347.post-39806261316628041442013-10-22T16:23:00.002-07:002013-10-22T16:23:50.592-07:00Hell has frozen over! Syria joined the UN chemical weapons pact!<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Mb0kEdxSWCE" width="420"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Okay folks I believe hell has finally frozen over. I couldn't believe
what I was reading in the online news articles where I saw the headlines,<br />
<b>Syria asks UN to join chemical arms treaty </b><br />
<b>UN accepts Syria arms treaty application </b><br />
<b>Syria joins chemical weapons pact</b><br />
<br />
In case you may not know what the chemicals arms treaty is, I must tell
you that the treaty pact was established on <a href="http://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XXVI-3&chapter=26&lang=en">April 29,1997</a> and it consist
of <a href="http://treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDetails.aspx?src=TREATY&mtdsg_no=XXVI-3&chapter=26&lang=en">165 signatories from countries </a>around the world as a result of the
<a href="http://www.opcw.org/chemical-weapons-convention/">Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)</a>,which outlaws the production,stockpiling
and use of chemical weapons and their precursors.<br />
<br />
I was was shocked to have learned of this initially, but I realized that
the Syrian government will do anything to improve their image of being a heartless government who has no desire to prevent such monstrous attacks
from being inflicted on their citizens again.<br />
<br />
I feel confident in saying that Syrian government had no plans to be apart
of the chemical weapon free pact or getting rid of their weapons before
hundreds of people died from the senseless attacks having occurred in Syria.<br />
<br />
Although it is a darn shame that an act of terrorism had to occur in Syria
before they decided to join the Chemical Weapons pact.<br />
<br />
Now I am just wondering when the UN and international community is going to
wake up and put the pressure on <a href="http://www.opcw.org/about-opcw/non-member-states/">Angola,Egypt,North Korea and South Sudan </a>to
join regardless of whether they have or do not have <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION,</span></b>
and before an act of chemical weapon terrorism is carried out by another anonymous
terrorist in these countries.

How does social media coverage affect our viewpoint of the Ghouta chemical attacks?<br />
The author argues that modern technology (cell phones,i pads, e-mail accounts,social networking sites<br />
and the internet) controls human interactions with each other.According to Rushkoff humans allow<br />
modern digitial technology to change the way their life is experiences. He claims that the way we<br />
purchase goods and services and communicate with each other on a daily basis has changed<br />
dramatically from how we interacted with each other before the digital revolution.In his book, Program<br />
or Be Programmed: Ten Commands for the Digital Age, Rushkoff claims that human interaction has<br />
become distant and less up close and personal as well. The authors main purpose for writing the book is<br />
to advocate for digital awareness and tell the digital technology generation that they should start<br />
directing how digital technology impacts them instead of allowing digital technology to decide how<br />
they will be impacted.<br />
<br />
Evidence does the author use to support arguments<br />
In the Ten Commands for the Digital Age the author mainly uses two types of evidence to support his<br />
argument throughout book. The two types of evidence he uses are facts, judge and personal testimonial<br />
evidence.Another method the author used to argue his point was by making references to well<br />
documented literary work.<br />
<br />
In Rushkoff Chapter about “Time” he employs facts and judgement in the text in order to produce a<br />
more effective argument about how digital technologies are biased against time and how “ we end up<br />
divorcing ourselves from rhythms,cycles, and continuity on which we depend for coherence.”Rushkoff<br />
states:<br />
What's different now, however, is that its not just list dates, and recipes<br />
that are being stored for us, but entire processes.The process we use for<br />
finding a doctor or a friend, mapping a route or choosing a restaurant<br />
are being replaced by machines that may in fact, do it better. What we<br />
lose in the bargain,however, is not just the ability to remember certain<br />
facts, but to call upon certain skills.<br />
(Rushkoff, 33)<br />
<br />
Rushkoff talks about how new modern technologies has given our society choice as whether or not we<br />
will use telephone books and rely on word of mouth to find people or rely on smart phone applications<br />
and Google although he refrains from directly stating specific types of technology commonly used<br />
today in the chapter. He uses factual evidence by because it is a fact that much of our society relies on<br />
digital technology in lieu if relying on the old school methods of getting information.Being that people<br />
now rarely use compasses and paper maps for traveling to one city to the next and instead they choose to<br />
use GPS navigators on their phones and other devices the type of evidence Rushkoff uses aids him in<br />
persuading his readers that modern processes have played a large role in changing the way we retrieve<br />
information.<br />
<br />
In the “Place” chapter the author talks about how digital technologies are decentralized technologies.<br />
According to Rushkoff digitial technologies “work from far away, exchanging intimacy for distance.”<br />
The author gives his readers a personal testimony in order to convince the reader that he has drawn a<br />
solid conclusion about the point he makes in this chapter being that he has personally witnessed humans<br />
replacing face to face social interactions with digital technologies such as online simulations. Rushkoff<br />
talks about an experience he had with being escorted by a college administrator to a classroom that had<br />
been used for a model of the United Nations for the past ten years. According to Rushkoff that year<br />
things were done differently. Instead of having the students re-create the General Assembly in their<br />
classroom, they would do it in an online simulation called Second Life he said. “When I got to the<br />
room, I saw forty students sitting at desks outfitted with high resolution computer screens”<br />
(Rushkoff,43). The author claims that students were in the same place at the same time,however they<br />
were not looking at one another except for “the monitors on their desks.”The author personal testimony<br />
is employed in the text in order to convince readers that digital technology has contributed to humans<br />
becoming more distant.His personal testimony helps the reader understand why Rushkoff has come to<br />
the conclusion he comes to in the “Place” chapter.<br />
<br />
In the “Choice” chapter Rushkoff talks about how digital technologies have forced us to make<br />
decisions or choices we would not have made without such technologies in place to assist us with<br />
making decisions. He talks about an experiment a scientist from Stanford conducted in order to provide<br />
his readers with evidence that digital technologies play a huge role in the choices we make. He also<br />
seeks to convince readers that digital technologies give us a false perception of what real life<br />
experiences we've had. Rushkoff states, “A Stanford scientist testing kids memories of virtual reality<br />
experiences has found that at least half of children cannot distinguish between what they really did and<br />
what they did in the computer simulation” (Rushkoff,63). Rushkoff use of findings from a scientist at a<br />
credible university is effective in persuading his readers that there is some truth behind the conclusions<br />
he has come to about the digital realm and its effect on human choices and its impact on the validity of<br />
real life experiences.<br />
<br />
Evidence the author uses to support arguments<br />
The types of evidence the author uses such facts, personal testimony and experiments supports his<br />
arguments because it enables him to provide his readers with a logical argument. The authors<br />
argument is logical because he provides he uses facts about what digital technologies are capabilities in<br />
order to proof that digital technologies has the ability to replace human ability to figure out how to find<br />
places and people.Therefore, it is reasonable for him to make a claim that these technologies can replace<br />
our ability to “remember certain facts,... and to call upon certain skills.”<br />
<br />
Also the author is effective in supporting his argument by using personal testimony being that his<br />
readers are more likely to believe that digital technologies are capable of making us more distant in our<br />
social interactions with each other because Rushkoff personally witnessed how online technology<br />
created a distant relationship among st students sitting next to each other inside of one classroom.<br />
Lastly, Rushkoff mentioning of a experiment the Stanford scientist conducted on children aids him in<br />
persuading his audience that digital technologies can alter a persons judgement and direct the choices<br />
they make.<br />
<br />
Counter Arguments<br />
Although the author makes a logical argument in the text he some people in our society may disagree<br />
with the conclusions he has made. They may disagree with him for the following reasons. First not<br />
every one is heavily influenced by digital technology and social network sites. They are not<br />
controlled by them because there are some people that rarely use the internet and instant messaging or<br />
even smart phone applications.Some people may login to the internet only to read online news<br />
publications or conduct research. While there are other people who find their selves becoming slaves to<br />
the digital world because they have created multiple online social network accounts such as Facebook,<br />
Twitter and Instagram that they seem to always be connected to from their mobile and laptop devices.<br />
Also some people may criticize the authors claims that digital technology direct us instead of us<br />
directing it being that they believe the digital technology doesn't direct our behavior.Some people may<br />
believe that this technology simply assist our society in becoming well informed people who are more<br />
socially interactive with each other as a result of modern digital technology. For instance I find myself<br />
conversating more frequently with relatives on Facebook then I would be if I did not have a Facebook<br />
account at all. Due to my busy schedule I may not have the time to call my cousin and have a<br />
conversation with him or her.However, I can maintain an ongoing social relationship with my relatives<br />
and even become more closer to some relatives I rarely see face to face because Facebook chatting<br />
sessions have enabled me to do so.<br />
<br />
Although the authors argument is open for debate and criticism he does provide valid and logical<br />
evidence about the conclusion he has made about digital technology. The facts, personal testimony and<br />
even the experiment evidence he uses is effective in persuading readers that his viewpoint is<br />
reasonable. For instance as I thought about the authors argument I realized that online media and<br />
social networking sites such as twitter has convinced many people that the Ghouta Chemical attacks in<br />
Syria perpetrators where the Syrian government. Individuals who he avidly rely on online media and<br />
social networks to get information about news and form opinions about such current events may not<br />
take the time to conduct research and critical think about the events having occurred in Syria.Therefore<br />
they could easily believe that its is an undisputed fact that the Syrian government is responsible for the<br />
Ghouta Chemical attacks. So from 1-5 I give Rushkoff a 4 for the effectiveness of the argument he<br />
makes about modern digital technologies impact on us.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In an online (CNN) article I read that <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/06/world/meast/syria-chemical-weapons/index.html">Syrians will soon began the process of </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A news release from the <a href="http://www.opcw.org/">Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
said the weapons being removed includes " missile warheads, aerial bombs and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
mixing and filling equipment."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The OPCW team will be monitoring Syria's compliance with the international </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
demands to destroy chemical weapons stockpiles and production facilities </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
according to the OPCW news release. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Although I feel some relief in knowing that the Syrian government chemical </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
weapons will be removed I can only wonder if the international community </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
efforts to ensure that the sort of horrific chemical weapon terrorist attacks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
having occurred a few weeks ago will only just be a waist of their time and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
energy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I believe as long as there are people in Syria that are willing to kill innocent </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
people just to make a political statement then a chemical attack could still </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
man has the intellectual ability to make chemical weapons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Even if all chemical weapons were removed in the country and an inspector </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
verifies that all the evil agents have been removed I can still only wonder </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
if the government or rebels will have some chemical weapons hidden in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
their closets or under their beds. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Chemical weapons should have been removed from the world when on </div>

at the hands of Iraqi armed forces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Chemical weapons should have been removed from the world and never</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I don't believe forcing Syria to trash their chemical weapons will prevent</div>

another chemical attack from occurring within the country being that </div>

Dear Anonymous Ghouta Attackers:<br />
<br />
<br />
Why did you poison all those people? Why did you use one of the<br />
most dangerous weapons on mass destruction to kill real people<br />
whom had not harmed you in any way. I'm sure most of the people<br />
you killed you did not know.But you unleashed lethal doses of<br />
this poison on women, men and children.<br />
<br />
Why did you decide to make children children shake and<br />
go into deadly convulsions until their spirit and soul left<br />
and they became a pale sleeping corpse on the floor?<br />
<br />
Why did you do these things anonymous Ghouta attackers?<br />
Please do explain! Please tell me did all those people die<br />
because you wanted to win the Syrian war? Or did you<br />
murder hundreds of children to gain political strength ?<br />
<br />
I really want to know if you poisoned so many people<br />
cause you wanted to show the world who the boss is<br />
or you wanted to make Syrian people afraid and left in<br />
awe of your wrath.<br />
<br />
Can you tell me why I will wait for your answer. I will<br />
wait for you to tell me the answer to what I already know.<br />
I will wait for you to say " I killed them because I am selfish<br />
and full of hate and could care less about another mans fate."<br />
<br />
I will wait for you to tell me because I really must hear you<br />
be brave and say why you killed people who did nothing<br />
to you.<br />
<br />
Anonymous Ghouta attackers I must know your reason<br />
please tell me you plans. Why did you feel they had to<br />
suffocate and shake like that?<br />
<br />
The logic you used in deciding to play God is something<br />
I must understand !<br />
<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
A real person with real feelings<br />

<b>WAS THE SYRIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESMAN PROMISE NEVER TO USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON HIS OWN PEOPLE REALLY A CRUEL JOKE? </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wonder if the Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi was just really joking</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
when he said,"<a href="http://www.presstv.com/detail/2012/07/23/252376/syria-denies-chemical-weapons-allegations/">Syria will not use any chemical or other unconventional weapons against</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
its civilians, and will only use them in case of external aggression," in a media conference </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
back in July of 2012 at the Syrian Capital.</div>
<br />
I wonder if he was just really joking when he made what now seems to be an outlandish<br />
statement to the media and the Syrian people.<br />
<br />
Although Makdissi said that the government would not use weapons of mass destruction<br />
to resolve the internal problems within the country, such as the conflict between the loyal<br />
Ba'ath government and those seeking to oust it, there have been several incidents when<br />
either civilians or rebel forces has been attacked by chemical weapons such as the Sarin<br />
nerve gas.<br />
<br />
It seems that the United States government and other governments should have foreseen<br />
that catastrophic Ghouta scene was going to occur.The U.S. government should have allied with other governments to sanctioned the Syrian government when 16 government soldiers and 10 civilians had been killed in the<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-21841217"> Khan al-Assal chemical attack</a> after a<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/20/world/middleeast/syria-developments.html?_r=0"> rocket landed on Khan al-Assal in March 19,2013 </a>.<br />
<br />
What external forces and international organizations should have done did not occur.<br />
Therefore,1300 people lost their lives on August 21,2013, possibly because the<br />
international community did not realize as<b> </b>chemical attack after chemical attack incidents<br />
were reported or discovered in Syria that the Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman was<br />
really joking when he promised that Syrians would not be exposed to <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION</b></span>. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In the You Tube video the Director of Roosevelt University interdisciplinary International<br />
Studies Program, David Faris Ph.,D
says the Syrian government has consistently unleashed chemical weapons on its own people in order to scare their rebels
into silence.<br />
<br />
Faris also said that U.S. military intervention is "not worth it in lives in money that we would have to throw at it."The best course of action the U.S. government should take Faris says,"The best route is not to do anything right now," unless the international community is going to figure a broader and long term solution to the problem.<br />
<br />
<br />
What do you think the United States Government and the rest of the international<br />
community should do to respond to the chemical warfare and terrorism on civilians<br />
that Jihad Makdissi said would never occur in Syria? <br />
