RUBY TUESDAY: SYRIA AND WHAT MATTERS TODAY: READ ALL ABOUT IT...



SAME WAR, DIFFERENT COUNTRY, by Thomas L Friedman, Op-ED Columnist, NYTimes


Woodcut (1969)                                  MG


"Thousands of people are in desperate need and it requires all the great international powers to stop this war and agree on a settlement, because the refugee crisis cannot be solved without them." Says
 Deborah Amos, veteran National Public Radio correspondent, in a discussion with Phil Donahue, September 6,  about the human toll of the Syrian fighting, and the potential impact of millions of displaced people on the region.

In short, people are in desperate need, are on the move to neighboring allied countries; who are, in turn, being destabilized.  Working and middle class Syrians, displaced, moving to the desert where there is no water, no survival kit to speak of.  Albeit, the Syrians are remarkably resourceful people,  building life saving infrastructures in camps with the little they have.

  2. Thank you for sharing this woodcut, Margaret. Some things never change. War is one of them. Art and poetry and dance are our greatest weapons. Thank you again.
