All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, Aims, those beautiful children make me so happy, I'm weeping.

Oh Aims! That was a complete delight!
As for the Syrian bombing. I this instance he has apparently listened to the military people's suggestions. It is probably what needed to be done, really only a small fraction of what should be done. However, doing one thing that has bipartisan support and probably needed to be done does not come close to balancing the scales with the massive quantities of completely horrific things he has done and is doing.

In certain sectors, the bombardment is going to boost That Man's numbers, because nothing makes some segments of this country happier than waving our military dick around.

Yes, I am pretty well shielded from people who will be cheering over something that should never be celebrated, but expect that the reaction is taking place.
Even my deep pacifist nature understands that sometimes big nations need to flex muscle, but I have zero confidence that anything is going to be done to solve the complex underlying problems. And obviously nothing is being done to help the poor people living in that horror show.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The little girl that talked about wanting to see her father and friends is a Yemeni refugee. She was in my class last year. She came to me after having been in a refugee camp in SA for two years. Spoke not a lick of English, had never been to school. Her father is still in SA. She's amazing.
