A woman I admired quite a lot in the antiwar movement unfriended me over Syria. Her wall is all Russia Today, Mint Press, Beeley & Bartlett rubbish, even Tulsi Gabbard crap: the stuff of Muslim-hating & war-mongering.

I’d kept her as a friend hoping she’d be persuaded though my style isn’t particularly ingratiating. I leave the fawning & silver-tongue to Assadists whose intention is to deceive.

Anyway it didn’t work & it likely never will. That’s life. It’s sad to lose those kinships. She isn’t the first over differences on war. But there are more important things in life. Like what you think about the bombing of other human beings.
