A PLEA TO DEAF EARS

Every morning when I turn on the TV I find the same old thing, ugly and incomprehensible, the wanton destruction of lives, particularly those of children.

If you look at the Middle East and our southern border we are shown the massacre of dignity, the ruination of young lives and in Syria particularly, the murder of children. There are iconic images of a child and his dad floating face down in the Rio Grande I believe, drowned because they couldn’t make it across the river to a better life. There is no hope for legal entry in the U.S.A., they are starving in their homeland and try to escape the violence that encompasses their home and families.

Look to the Middle East and you see the wreckage of the War in Syria and with the assistance of Russian aircraft bombing of civilian populations, a child five-years-old searches for her younger sibling maybe one-year-old in the rubble. She died in her efforts! How proud to be Russian, how proud to be an American these days.
