One year ago today, hundreds of children took a deep breath, had a seizure, coughed and died of suffocation.
They were the victims of a chemical gas attack.
Their crime was to be the children of Syrians seeking freedom.
The world looked upon their tender corpses and turned a blind eye.
They were not Kurd, Christian, Yezidi or member of any minority.
They were unlucky to be born to Syrian Arab Sunni parents who are the majority in Syria.
They were unlucky because their death did not threaten the interests of powerful nations.
They will never get justice and they are seldom mourned or remembered.
Poor poor little angels, my heart bleeds for you.
