Let me preface my comment by outlining my borderline political retardation firstly. I have no idea what's going on in the world around me on a daily basis, I'm just completely fixated in my own day to day routine and I very rarely watch/hear news, so any form of background information to this event has completely evaded me.
What I will say is that hearing about this type of attack against ANY country makes my skin crawl. To hear that 130+ people (including civilians/children) have already died, to see the footage of preterm babies in makeshift "hospital" setups in dirty bomb shelters... Absolutely heart wrenching.
Thoughts and prayers to everyone who has/could be affected..
