Bombs Away!

Syrian kids in harm's way? No sweat. A few American cruise missiles, and they'll be right as rain.

And anyway, what could possibly go wrong?

Oh, wait:

"Dramatic increases in infant mortality, cancer and leukaemia in the Iraqi city of Fallujah which was bombarded by US marines in 2004 exceed those reported by survivors of the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, according to a new study." (Toxic legacy of US assault on Fallujah 'worse than Hiroshima', Patrick Cockburn, independent.co.uk, 23/7/10)

Damn, better ask America's favorite Syrian kid what she thinks first.

Hi, Bana, Uncle Donald here. Hope you and your mum are recovering from your war wounds over there in Turkey, and Uncle Recip's taking good care of you. Say, what do you think we should do about Syria?

"I am a Syrian child who suffered under Bashar al Asad & Putin. I welcome Donald Trump action against the killers of my people." (Bana Alabed tweet, 7/4/17)

Then bombs away it is!
