Life Continues In Syria

Shelled-out apartment blocks, AK-47s and black flags, tanks and Russian jets: the images we have of Syria, of death and destruction, omit any idea of life.

But life goes on.

"People are still trying to survive," said journalist Zaina Erhaim. "They are still getting in love,
they're still getting their children to schools -- although now the schools are in basements, although the field hospitals are in basements."

"They're going on with their lives. They still go to school. They still have shops. But things are different."

Aleppo, where ISIS, other Islamists, moderate rebels, and regime forces all battle for control, has been ravaged beyond almost all recognition.

But even there, some semblance of normalcy -- or attempts at it -- exist. Children turn cemeteries into playground, Erhaim said.

She recalled asking a mother -- a school headmaster -- how she could prevent her children from getting scared, especially during nights of extensive bombing.

"She told me that she gives them sleeping pills so they won't be scared."

What a life? Let there be peace.

I keep saying "The Innocent Keep Suffering and Dying". 

Enough is Enough!!! 

Change!!!
