A family sits around the table, quietly munching on small plates of food. The woman makes faces at her young baby in his bassinet and the man teases his toddlers. Laughter and love fill the house.
But one rich and privileged man can destroy this house. He can turn this loving family to bits of ash. He can make hundreds of civilians be gone in a second.
The missles that have been launched on the warring country of Syria will do not one bit of good. Solving violence with more violence will never work. Ending warfare with more weapons is ludicrous.
President Trump has launched a vicious attack. He claimed that he is showing compassion toward the Syrian children who were killed last week. But what about the Syrian children who are alive and living in Syria? What about their parents and older siblings and family members? What about their homes and toys and lives that we are obliterating?
This attack is uncalled for. We are murdering innocent civilians in an attempt to end a war by starting a new battle.
