Farce of Conscience

Seeing the unmitigated carnage in Syria led me to wonder if those who butcher women, children, and even infants are part of the same humanity. Witnessing babies who have been murdered, not from a bomb dropped from a plane or something as indiscriminate as an artillery round, but up close and personal, one naturally thinks only an animal could have done this. These are real crimes against the notion of civilization as no civilized human being could countenance such savagery. May justice be swift for the bestial killers, even if that means yet another US intervention.
