This terrifying video of a young girl who apparently survived a chemical gas attack in Syria was posted this morning by the New York Times. Although the story wasn’t confirmed, the girl’s panic is all too real. According to the doctor attending her, her entire family perished.
All signs point to a international alliance that will soon intervene in Syria. Yesterday’s press conference by Secretary of State John Kerry included forceful and direct language. “The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable. And despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured, it is undeniable.”
