Who Speaks for the Children?

So the primary question is really no longer, what do we know. The question is what are we -- we collectively -- what are we in the world going to do about it.

 And then in the same speech, Secretary John Kerry answered the question by saying: 

And that is at the core of the decisions that must now be made for the security of our country and for the promise of a planet where the world's most heinous weapons must never again be used against the world's most vulnerable people.

 

 Just my opinion.....,

Kerry asked the question, made the case and then President Obama gave his own answer. Condemnation of what he will not confront militarily by the black hole of Congressional debate...in what the President says may be a month.   Does anyone really think that lacking congressional authorization that he would act?  Painfully ironic for a President who has found ways to get around congressional process and approval in any number of cases

So the children of Syria will go to bed tonight more vulnerable than many others with the threat of chemical weapons out there. Is the question one of how to punish Assad and his henchman?  Or is it how we remember the eternal worth of each child so that as Sec. Kerry said--such heinous weapons will never be used on any of the children of the world.  The pathos of preventing that threat is only offset by the loving God who went to the Cross to lead us to the Garden -- that we should never forget, must always seek as the true vision of the world.
