  1. I will never understand the mind or soul or a human being who could do such evil things.

    1. Unfortunately Janet, there are people who are capable of behaving badly, we only have to read up modern history, never mind ancient history.

  2. I wondered yesterday why we are so much more appalled by these attacks in Paris than we have been about the thousands dead in Iraq and Syria, for I am too. Then I realsed it's because those deaths have always been 'there'. It's been their war, not ours. These horrible attacks in Paris (including the Charlie attacks) have moved the theatre of violence to 'here'. We shouldn't be more horrified by these deaths, but we are. It's natural. This is Paris and not Baghdad. Paris belongs to us all. A beautiful tribute, Mel.

  3. Thank you Val, Paris is an iconic city and these criminals seem to take pleasure from destroying icons.
