Just now on CBS News with Jeff Glor a clip was played showing the horror of war in Syria,

over 400 civilians killed in Goust in just the last few days, bombs by Russians and Syrian warplanes and helicopters reigning from the skies into the middle of th city.

Children dying in the streets and in their homes, the survivors tweeting videos, videos of their plight asking for the world not to abandon them, using their Twitter, beautiful children terrorized by adults fighting over having power over the very people they are both killing. Moving segment.

Almost could ignore that CBS ignored American warplanes and armed drones are fighting ISIS nearby and are killing Syrian civilians by the thousands, and accelerating under Trump.

Then the next CBS srgement is .......the glory of American warplanes playing advanced war games to drop bombs and kill people. Not just tone deaf, criminal negligence in journalism.

We need gun control everywhere because children are everywhere.
