A drawing by a Syrian refugee child has shocked Germany. The picture, presented by the girl to a police officer, shows bloodshed in Syria on one half and hearts and the German flag on the other.

"The picture emerged from the thoughts in the mind of this girl," police spokesman Thomas Schweikl said, referring to the child's drawing.

Police said the illustration was made by a girl in the Passau refugee registration center , where officials had laid out paper and color pens for children to paint while they were waiting with their parents.

The girl who made the drawing apparently presented it to a policeman, who pinned it on a board with other children's pictures. A police spokesman thought the girl's illustration was interesting and posted a photograph of it on Twitter.

Since then, the drawing has been retweeted nearly 7,000 times. Police posted it with the hashtags #sprachlos and #Fluechtlingskrise - or "speechless" and "refugee crisis."

drawn on the right side?

The regime change war mongerers and power players of the West have a lot to account for in their long history of regime change politics.

As the Pope pointed out.
