6. ((((HUGS)))) to BOG and the Obamas. I know that he feels the pain, he has seen so much.

I stumbled on a RawStory video from CNN of the victims of the nerve gas. It was edited, but there was still enough to make me cry seeing the clips of the dozen or so films shown the Senate and will be shown to the House.

As Commander-in-Chief, he is forced to see much more. Our attention spans are short and we're easily distracted. This man is carrying all of this horror, hatred and petty spite on his shoulders.

But I don't think that is what matters to him, he's on a mission to fulfill his goals of a better world. What he said in Russia was the issue:

What would doing nothing mean to the world we leave for our children?

It sends a bad one, I think, that it's okay for the powerful to kill the weak. And this was not done in the heat of battle; it was carried out in cold blood.

The Sarin gas attack was in a heavily populated city neighborhood. It was not an error. Iran has said they know he uses CW and this must end. Iran suffered the death of a 100,000 from gas atracks from Saddam.

There are going to be some alliances that may fall away, some new ones made. Germany was holding out, now they are saying they have proof. Many nations have said they have proof now.

These people are not just saying this to please PBO. They know what nerve gas can do. They've seen killing on an industrial scale.

Our defense system, even if misused at times, knows things we don't want to know.

Okay, I'll post a video that will cheer us up. And for the first time in my life, I will pen a letter to the POTUS and tell him how much what he doing means to me personally and that I support him.

Be of good cheer, BOG.
