Samantha Power, the United States ambassador to the United Nations, has expressed herself on the alleged use of chemical weapons by the regime in Syria. Her venue was Twitter:
Reports devastating: 100s dead in streets, including kids killed by chem weapons. UN must get there fast & if true, perps must face justice.
Eloquent and forceful, given the limitations of the form, Ms. Power’s words recall those from another time when the aggressors were gassing innocents and appeals were made to the world’s assembled nations to … do something.
