When I looked over the headlines this morning, I was genuinely shocked at the news from Syria. Tuesday’s chemical attack in the province of Idlib had been reported over the previous two days, but attacks in Syria, are, sadly, so common that I’d simply tuned it out. I watched news footage showing the limp bodies of children killed, apparently, by the sarin nerve toxin. |

The failure isn't just the USA's, Dermot. The UK and the French are also involved in Syria, although not on last night's mission. |

I have visions of both these inadequates (Trump and Putin), now playing 'virtual' war games, to prove who's the 'toughest' whilst not giving a damn about those in between. |

The rebels are not holed up with the civilians they are protecting them. When Assad's army or Hezbollah take rebel territory it is razed. Men and boys over 12 are murdered or disappear. |

Okay I'm not getting into a war of words over this Rollo....I was simplifying a very complex issue. They are holed up with civilians in so much as they don't have separate military bases. Whomever had the chemical weapons they were wrong. |

I was watching Fox News when the details broke. I have been checking reaction via various news agencies all night. |

I can't say that I totally understand this situation but I do have horrible memories of reading a William Shirer book and I do see very many more parallels than I am comfortable with. |

Book title Sharron ? Not to question but possibly to read. |

The former Archbishop of Canterbury has described Donald Trump as a ‘Good Samaritan’ for the American people. Lord Carey said the US President had offered the country ‘a voice’ and said he had ‘deep sympathies’ with the forces that propelled him to victory last year. |

Carey's incorrect analysis of Donald Trump has nothing at all to with the war in Syria. at least his successor can see that. |
