Chemical warfare in Syria
Reporters for “Le Monde” spent two months clandestinely in the Damascus area alongside Syrian rebels. On the scene during chemical weapons attacks, they bear witness to the use of toxic arms by the government.This article contains graphic descriptions and some very powerful and disturbing photographs. You have been warned.
One the one hand, something must be done. On the other hand, what that something should be isn’t all that clear. For now, prayers for those affected, which doesn’t feel sufficient, is all we can offer.

Please understand I’m not advocating flag burning of any kind. I honestly don’t see the need. And whether or not protesting against any sort of homosexual agenda is philistinian or not is beside the point. People should be allowed to say stupid things. What gets my goat is when free speech is the rallying cry by one group protesting one thing, but then that same group wants to shut down counter-protests. That’s a double standard. There should be no protected classes. Either we all have the right, or none of us do.
A Constitution is not the act of a Government, but of a people constituting a government, and a government without a constitution is a power without right.
