Re: Syria
One of the most heartbreaking scenes on TV last year was the sight of a row of several young brothers sat cross legged in a bomb blasted burial cave with all eyes glued to the entrance. It was evening and their mother had taken them there for safety in the early morning, told them not to move and had gone out to find food. The commentator estimated they must have been there about 9 hours awaiting her return. Sometimes you wish there was such a thing as a magic wand.
It's obvious why only a selected few places are being blasted out of existence. It's noticeable that the towns of minority Islam groups such as Shia are the targets. Iran which has a majority of Shias is obviously supplying their religious brethren with weaponry and what started off as a peaceful plea for a more democratic government obviously frightened some people into believing the country could end up as another Iran.
