Syrian peoples’ pain

All I can say of Syria is this: I know nothing of life in Syria, and I don’t trust much of what the mainstream media is uttering on it.

I do know that there are people, lovely, warm, vulnerable, open active, and that there are children and elders too, all of them so human. And that irrespective of ‘politics’ they will be the ones who are hurt the most of all in this. Again. It’s nauseating to talk of ’Libya’, ‘Syria’, ‘Iraq’, ‘Afghanistan’ as objects, rather than places filled with people. And I know that their trauma, pain, loss and hurt is not a price worth paying to sustain the current dominant political paradigms.
