It’s such a desperate situation. I read The Times article that you mention above, and the first two paragraphs about a boy of six or seven, and a baby girl under two, just about killed me. Those are the ages of my children.

I know. This is what keeps resonating with me. It could have been Talitha. Nothing was different about those children other than place and circumstance. How can you chop open a baby? This violence must be stopped.
