Hey - you know I'm as cynical as they come normally - and I'm Irish to boot ...

... so who knows, maybe I've turned full circle, but the footage of the kids and their dads was real and having a similar kid I was moved - and I'm not talking about my bowels!

Those pictures are what lifes all about - and those moments are far more important than any friggin war.

It must be terrifying beyond comprehension and heartbreaking beyond hope when you are in danger of dying any minute and all ou want is to see your kids.

I'm glad I'm sat here by my PC with my little one in the other room.
