30. Holy cow, I thought you had disappeared

because all of the carnage in Syria was just too much.

Yep, the population is being genocided and it does not matter.

I wonder when it is OK to torture children and women? and destroy their homes and make them flee to other countries.

Soon the refugee numbers will be the same as those for Iraqis and I am sure you did not support that - but you are supporting it in Syria?

I did not support what was happening in Iraq by the US just as I do not support what is happening to the Syrian by Assad.

Even Eli Wiesel has wondered why Assad is still in power after all the massacre. But I guess he would not know about that.
