Children everywhere are paying the price. In America, in Pakistan and
in Syria thery are the ones who die. Of shootings, of bombings and
polio. Always the little ones. Used as weapons by a youth with a grudge,
by terrorists for their twisted cause and by governments as pawns to
kill their enemies.
Did anyone in America think through the
inevitable consequence of getting to Bin Laden through his children? Did
they imagine what would happen when it was discovered that a
vaccinating doctor had passed on vital information?
Now teenagers
trying to eradicate a terrible disease are gunned down for their
trouble. Here's a novel idea. How about the politicians start
protecting. Stop pandering to the gun lobby in America. They are wrong.
How
can anyone support Assad? His friends must desert him and his army turn
against him. As for the Taleban - do they want to run a country rife
with polio? If they win this battle of theirs? Sometimes it is very,
very easy to see what is right. Just put the children first.
