The sadness I saw in the eyes of Suleiman haunt me.
It was the early time of the Syria saga.
It was the time when the Syrian children ran around their schools chanting, we want freedom.
It was the time when the 15 years old Mahmoud stomped over a picture of Bashar el Assad.
Suleiman was telling me how his nephew, Mahmoud had his two legs cut from the knee down by the security forces of Assad.
It was fitting punishment to the crime of stomping over a picture of the President.
The sadness I saw in his eyes will haunt me forever.
Obama, Kerry, Putin, and all those concerned by the crimes committed by Daesh did not look in these eyes.
They are ready to forget the millions of people killed by Assad.
It is a game of nations that has no consideration for the sadness that fell over the Syrian people at the hand of a brutal dictator who chose to kill his people driving them away to become refugees in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and now Europe.
The sadness does not haunt the leaders of the civilized world while they sit at the same table as Assad.
They add to the horror by bullying the Syrian people to accept their executioner.
I do not understand.
I look in the eyes and they haunt me.
