Hell on Earth
The Dead are in Peace, it is the Survivors who live in Hell, watercolour, 2015
Patrick Cockburn reported on 23rd October in London Review of Books, 5 Nov 2015 issue:
"According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 250,124 Syrians have been killed and an estimated two million injured out of a population of 22 million. The country is saturated by violence."
Today the parliament in London has voted to take military action in Syria. Russia, France, USA, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Assad, the Kurds, Shia, Sunni, Israel, Palestine, etc etc etc., oil, coloniasm, arms sales, sadistic misogyny, greed, terror tactics, lies, evasions, propaganda - a different agenda for each party engaged, a whirlpool of confusion into which humanity is being hurled: for the civilians, blood and horror.
