Syria kids recruited to fight for both rebels & govt forces

An increasing number of children are being recruited by both rebels and pro-government forces in the bloody conflict in Syria, according to UN investigators and charity activists. As the bloody crisis in Syria is approaching its second anniversary this week, the UN is again warning the conflict is far from a simple fight between good rebels and evil government forces. Reporter Abdullah Mawazini reports from Damascus.

I saw a video today (it is actually from about 6-7 months ago) and I was astounded seeing what I saw. A child, no more than maybe 6 years old, was beheaded by these barbarians. What could a 6 year old child do so bad that someone could have a heart to behead the li'l soul? This is not all, what made it worse was the fact that, they could not even find that butchered child's severed head; his headless body was simply wrapped in a blanket and "shoved" aside like trash. 

My mind goes numb when I read and see such stuff happening in this very world that is our home and in these very times that we inhabit it. I wonder how many of us have actually done or are doing anything to make it impossible for such barbarians to even conceive such a horror? In a population of 7 billion and counting, can we really do nothing to change the course of time that is being ruled upon and decided about by just a few tens of thousands (or maybe even less)? Surely it's a matter of life and death but, how many can they kill? A few thousands maybe. Perhaps, a few millions. We're still more in numbers and they too cannot kill all.

Sometimes, one has to take the bull by the horns. Indeed it is much stronger, aggressively violent and excruciatingly debilitating and will definitely hurt and kill a few that try to take it by the horns but, unless it is taken by the horns, there can be no possibility of killing the bull and ending the rampage, threat and destruction of one and all. Today, it is in someone else's country, happening to someone else's family. Are we going to wait till it comes to our doorstep?

Sadly children the most fearless of us all, and make good soldiers.
