Postscript to Syria Revisited Postscript - with sober and saner reflection

Yet I'll readily admit that World War Three would be a pretty high price to pay even if one accepts that America is right, and that Assad was the one and only culprit.. and though it's no doubt been greeted with a fair bit of ridicule and scepticism, the suggestion of dropping gas masks from Syria's skies, while providing real assistance to innocent Syrians, would hardly lead to such a diabolical outcome, would it? Unfortunately, and perhaps cataclysmically for the region if not our world, lateral thinking has hardly ever been the strong point of the 'leaders' of our global community...and if it were, not only would such a plan have been actively and deadly seriously considered from the word go, but the brilliantly creative and out-of-left- field proposal by the internet campaign outfit Avaaz would have likewise received not only some press but moreover equally meaningful consideration. No, as I've ever said, dreams are ever free (or some would say a dime a dozen). P.S. For the Avaaz plan, yes, you guessed it, 'just Google' the same, and yes, you're right once more, it's both involved (though hardly really complicated), and again I've no time now to go through it, besides which I'm sure they explain themselves far better than I ever could...
