Francis' appeal at today's Angelus: “No more war"

Pope Francis during the Angelus

During today's Angelus the Pope sent out a desperate appeal for peace in Syria, condemning the use of chemical weapons and calling for a day of prayer and fasting on 7 September 

giacomo galeazzi vatican city “No more war!” Francis cried out at today's Angelus prayer in St. Peter's Square. Faithful welcomed his cry for peace as a liberation as everyone's thoughts turned to Syria. “Violence never brings peace: war brings war, violence leads to more violence,” the Pope said, inviting those involved in the Syrian conflict “not to become closed in guarding their own interests” but “to be courageous and determined to try and find a middle ground and negotiate, overcoming blind conflict.” I especially condemn the use of chemical weapons: I still have some terrible images imprinted in my mind,” Bergoglio said. “God and history judge our actions and we cannot escape this judgement.”In his appeal for peace in Syria and the Middle East, the Pope expressed his deep concern for the situation there: “The many conflicts that exist in the world today, cause me great concern and suffering,” Francis said. “But in recent days I really have been deeply hurt by what has been going on in Syria and distressed by the developments which are being forecast. I would like to send out a strong appeal for peace. The use of weapons in that desolate country has brought so much suffering, devastation and pain.” The Pope invited “non Catholic Christian brothers and people of other faiths to unite in whichever way they see fit.”On “7 September we will gather in St. Peter's Square between 7pm and midnight to pray in the spirit of penance, to ask God for this great gift for the beloved Syrian nation” because “humanity needs to witness gestures of peace,” the Pope said, renewing the bond between the “world's parish priest” and his faithful, who flock in ever greater numbers to St. Peter's Square for the Sunday Angelus. Great explosions of joy alternated with moments of silence and prayer spread across the crowd of faithful which started pouring into the Square early this morning. The dialogue that exists between Francis and his faithful is frank and does not follow protocol: there is a special kind of understanding between the Pope from the “other side of the world” and a crowd which relates to his direct and meaningful language. “Each word Francis utters reaches people's hearts,” said 36-year old Alessio Angelini who came to Rome on a parish pilgrimage this Friday. “Let us hope the world's leaders will listen to the Pope's appeal for peace. The Pope's choice of Vatican officials is another sign of how he is trying to breath fresh air into the Vatican, bringing a spirit of renewal and a renewed sense of service to the faith.”“I am very happy that a humble priest like Parolin has been nominated Secretary of State,” the pilgrim said, adding that his parish priest in Italy's Veneto region defined Parolin as “a son of the people.” “Francis never lets us down,” Mr. Angelini said. Giulio Amici, a 20-year old Seminarian felt the same way: “It's exciting listening to Pope Francis, seeing him interact with people, taking part in public events where he mixes meditations on the Gospel with spontaneous reflections inspired by his experiences in Argentina. This way he doesn't preach from above, like a theory lesson, he manages to relate to people's everyday lives, offering practical, affectionate and far-sighted advice, like a wise grandfather.” Underneath Bernini's Collonade, Silvia Simonelli said: “I travelled 300 kilometres to bring my little grandson to listen to Francis because we see him as part of the family, a kind teacher who shows understanding instead of condemning. We all needed a figure like this at a difficult time like this.” 
Francis asked all local churches to organise liturgies of prayer for Syria. He invited faithful to join him in praying to Mary “to help us respond to violence, conflict and war.” “As Mother, help us find peace,” Francs prayed. “May there be an outbreak of peace, no more war, no more war. Peace is a precious gift that must be promoted and protected,” Francis stressed.

White House to Congress: Help Israel, Bomb Syria

Politico says senior administration officials are citing Israel's defense to convince congressmen on Syria strike.-By Gil Ronen-First Publish: 9/1/2013, 9:54 PM-Israelnationalnews

White House-Flash 90

The administration of Barack Obama is convincing congressmen to support a strike against Syria by saying that it will help protect Israel, reports Politico.
“Israel’s enemies, including Iran and the terrorist group Hezbollah, could be emboldened if Congress fails to approve action against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, senior administration officials said Saturday,” it reported.Secretary of State John Kerry also referred to Israel repeatedly as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning news shows — as well as comparing Assad to Adolf Hitler.“I think the stakes of upholding the international standard of behavior that has been in place since 1925, after World War I, that only Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein have breached that in time of war since then, and now Assad joins them, I think to contemplate that the Congress of the United States would turn its back on Israel, on Jordan, on Turkey, on our allies in the region, turn its back on innocent Syrian people who have been slaughtered by this gas and those who yet may be subject to an attack, … I can’t contemplate that the Congress would turn its back on all of that responsibility and the fact that we would have in fact granted impunity to a ruthless dictator to continue to gas his people,” Kerry told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace.President Obama referred to Israel in his Rose Garden address, saying that leaving the use of chemical weapons by Assad “endangers our friends and our partners along Syria’s borders, including Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq.” He repeated this message on Sunday, too.The senior administration officials who spoke to Politico “left little doubt that Israel would be a point of emphasis in private discussions with members of Congress.”While Israel's official position on the possible intervention in Syria is a neutral one, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu reportedly would very much like to see a limited US strike in Syria, which would bring back credible US deterrence to the region.

Report: Obama Discussed Attack Delay With Netanyahu

President Obama informed Netanyahu in advance that he would ask Congress to discuss future US actions in Syria-By David Lev-First Publish: 9/1/2013, 9:08 PM-Israelnationalnews

Obama and Netanyahu-Flash 90

U.S. President Barack H. Obama informed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in advance that he would let Congress decide on the appropriate action the U.S. would take in Syria. Reports in Israeli media quoted senior Israeli officials as saying the Obama called Netanyahu on Saturday, some four hours before he appeared on national TV in the US to announce that he was holding back on taking action against Syria until Congress discussed what the appropriate actions should be.Obama had spoken with other world leaders in recent days about what the U.S. was planning, but both the U.S. and Israel kept details of the calls under wraps. Neither government would confirm that the call took place, telling Israeli reporters that they had no comment when asked about the matter.The officials quoted in the report said that Netanyahu and Obama also discussed possible steps either country might take regarding Syria. Several weeks ago, U.S. officials promised Israel that they would give Israel at least several hours' notice before attacking Syria.Earlier, Netanyahu said at Sunday's cabinet meeting that Israel would respond if it was forced to. Israel, he said, was prepared for "every possible scenario" in neighboring Syria after US President Barack Obama postponed a threatened missile strike. "Israel is calm and sure of itself, the citizens of Israel know that we are prepared for every possible scenario,” Netanyahu said. "Our enemies have very good reasons not to try our strength, not to test our power," he added. "They know why."

Lieberman: Moses Brought us Here, We won't Budge

Yisrael Beytenu head delivers motivational Rosh Hashana message to faction members.

Avigdor Lieberman-Hezki Ezra

The chairman of the Yisrael Beytenu faction, MK Avigdor Lieberman, had some motivational words for his faction's members Sunday, in an attempt to defuse tensions regarding the uncertain situation in Syria.
"There is no other country that has to deal with security challenges like the ones Israel deals with,” he said, but added: “Moses brought us here and we won't budge.”Lieberman said that there is no justification for panic or for long lines at gas mask distribution centers."The entire Syrian civil war didn't begin because of Israel and I do not recommmend that anyone drag us in,” he said. “We have no reason to be dragged in and I recommmend not to try us.”Lieberman, who is also the head of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, stung Western countries that spend too much time trying to change things in Israel, but stand aside as the carnage in Syria reaches huge proportions. “100 thousand people were slaughtered in Syria and the world talks. And on the other side of the Arab world, Iran is taking advantage of the situation, increasing terrorism and carrying on with its nuclear program.”"We don't need a babysitter,” he said, regarding relations with the Palestinian Authority (PA). “Let us take care of this matter on our own. The involvement [of others] only pushes a solution further away. When we see what goes on around us, we understand that we can only count on ourselves.”Lieberman admitted that the unification with Likud in a single list in the last elections cost the two parties Knesset seats. “I read the criticism,” he said. “It's true, we lost some mandates, but the national camp is still in power.”

Netanyahu warns enemies not to test Israel’s strength

At cabinet meeting, PM chides ministers who attacked Obama’s decision to turn to Congress ahead of Syria strike

By Gavriel Fiske September 1, 2013, 1:09 pm 19-The Times of Israel

Israel is “calm and confident” in the face of regional turmoil, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday at the weekly cabinet meeting.Speaking hours after US President Barack Obama delayed a military strike at Syria pending a Congressional vote, Netanyahu declared that “Israel is calm and confident. Our citizens know that we are well prepared for any circumstance.”He added: “The citizens also should be aware that our enemies have very good reasons not to test our strength and might. They know why.”Netanyahu also slammed Housing Minister Uri Ariel for attacking Obama’s decision to seek Congressional approval for a military strike at the Assad regime. Personal attacks on Obama, Netanyahu said, “harm Israel’s security interests.”

Minister of Tourism Uzi Landau (Yisrael Beytenu), asked if he trusted Obama, said, “I trust in our Father in Heaven and in the Jewish nation. The American president has spoken, and we need to return to our normal routine.”Later Sunday, Netanyahu was meeting with Home Front Command Minister Gilad Erdan for a briefing on the country’s  preparedness for any possible Syrian retaliation against Israel should America strike. Netanyahu and Israel’s security chiefs have said there is a “low probability” of President Bashar Assad striking at Israel, despite repeated threats from Syria and Iran to do precisely that.Last week, in response to escalating international tensions over Syria’s use of chemical weapons and a potential international response, the IDF initiated a limited, open-ended call-up of reserve forces and declared a state of high alert for the Northern Command and IAF.Maintaining Israel’s efforts to stay out of the Syrian crisis, most members of the government had stayed silent Saturday night in response to Obama’s decision to seek Congressional authorization for a strike against the Assad regime.But members of the hardline Jewish Home party responded with criticism of the president. The religious-nationalist party’s Ariel declared that “in Tehran, they’re opening the champagne, and switching into a higher gear en route to nuclear weapons.” Ariel noted the 100,000 corpses in Syria, accused the world of doing nothing, and concluded that, “facing real dangers, no one in the world will stand with us.”On Sunday, Ariel repeated his criticism, calling Assad a cowardly killer who had indiscriminately killed thousands and who needed to be confronted. “He’s not a lion, he’s a murderous rabbit; take care of him already.”The Netanyahu cabinet was briefed by the chief of the General Staff, Benny Gantz, and other security chiefs.

Arab League urges UN-backed action in Syria

Foreign ministers of Arab nations call for ‘deterrent’ measures, hold Assad regime responsible for alleged chemical weapons attack

By Naama Barak September 2, 2013, 1:21 am 1-The Times of Israel

Arab League foreign ministers on Sunday night urged for UN-backed “deterrent” action in Syria over the Bashar Assad regime’s alleged use of chemical weapons last month in an incident the US says killed 1,429 people.The Arab League discussed the ongoing Syria crisis in a series of closed-door meetings in Cairo.

“The United Nations and the international community are called upon to assume their responsibilities in line with the UN Charter and international law by taking the necessary deterrent measures against the culprits of this crime that the Syrian regime bears responsibility for,” the ministers said in a statement following their session.Those responsible should face trial as “war criminals,” they added.“Firstly, greatly condemning this horrific crime that has been committed by the use of chemical weapons, which are globally forbidden in an excessive consternation of humanitarian morals and international law,” said Arab League senior official, Nassif Hitti.“Secondly, putting full responsibility of such horrendous attacks on the Syrian regime, and demanding the punishment and prosecution of all those involved in such a crime to international tribunals to be tried in equality with those convicted of war crimes.”Earlier, the Saudi foreign minister, Saud al-Faisal, and Ahmed Aljarba, head of the Syrian National Council (SNC), the coalition of Syrian opposition groups, urged the League to back military intervention in Syria.“I am here before you today to appeal to your brotherly and humanitarian sentiments and ask you to back the international operation against the destructive war machine,” Aljarba said.Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Tunisia and Algeria voiced their opposition to foreign military intervention.The Arab League session on Syria, originally scheduled for Tuesday, was brought forward to Sunday “in light of rapid developments in the Syria situation and based on the request of several Arab states,” according to Ahmed Ben Helli, Arab League deputy chief.The 22-member organization is viewed by the US government as an ally in case of an attack on Syria. Prominent League members, such as Qatar and the UAE, have participated in the US-led military campaign in Libya in 2011, and some Gulf countries host American bases on their territories.The League suspended Syria’s membership in 2011, has since offered its seat to the SNC, and has also allowed its members to arm the opposition forces in the country.US President Barack Obama on Saturday formally asked Congress to consider a military response in Syria, a day after he stunned many in the international community by announcing he would seek approval congressional approval before taking action.Earlier Sunday, US Secretary of State John Kerry laid out the case for action against Syria, saying in a series of interviews that the administration learned of sarin gas use through samples of hair and blood provided to Washington by first responders in Damascus.

Obama unleashes horror in Jerusalem

Israel wants to believe the US will yet intervene to stop Assad’s use of chemical weapons, undoing some of the damage caused by the president’s zigzag. For the leadership here, the alternative is too awful to contemplate

By David Horovitz September 1, 2013, 9:50 pm 48-The Times of Israel

The Israeli political and security leadership is privately horrified by President Barack Obama’s 11th-hour turnaround on striking Syria — a decision he took alone, after he had sent his Secretary of State John Kerry to speak out passionately and urgently in favor of military action. It is now fearful that, in the end, domestic politics or global diplomacy will ultimately lead the US to hold its fire altogether.It is worried, furthermore, at the ever-deeper perception of Obama’s America in the Middle East as weak, hesitant and confused — most especially in the view of the region’s most radical forces, notably including Bashar Assad, Hezbollah, and Iran.And it is profoundly concerned that the president has set a precedent, in seeking an authorization from Congress that he had no legal requirement to seek — and that Congress was not loudly demanding — that may complicate, delay or even rule out credible action to thwart a challenge that dwarfs Assad’s chemical weapons capability: Iran’s drive to nuclear weapons.Israel’s Channel 2 reported Sunday night that, once Obama had zigzagged to his decision not to strike for now, the White House contacted Israel’s leadership to convey the news. The goal, successfully achieved, was to ensure that there would be no avalanche of publicly aired criticism of the president by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers. Only the hawkish minister of housing, Uri Ariel, defied the prime minister’s restraining order, complaining bitterly in an Army Radio interview Sunday morning that Assad was a cowardly murderer “who needs to be taken care of, already.” Ariel thus earned himself a dressing-down by Netanyahu, who told him at the Cabinet table that personally attacking the president of the United States did not serve Israel’s “security interests.”

But privately, Israel’s silently appalled political and security leaderships have no doubt that Obama’s last-minute change of heart harms Israel’s security interests far more critically than any marginal minister’s inconvenient outburst possibly could.Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel are reported to have briefed Israel’s leaders to the effect that Obama’s firm intention remains to strike back at Assad for what Kerry said Friday was the carefully planned August 21 use of chemical weapons to kill over 1,400 of his own Syrian people.The Israeli leadership wants to believe that this is the case. The notion that the US would turn its back on the toxic crimes of a murderous dictator, whom Kerry bracketed Sunday with Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein, is too dire to consider in an Israel facing more than one hostile regime relentlessly seeking to exploit any military and moral weakness in order to expedite the Jewish state’s demise.Though dutifully silent in public, Jerusalem has quickly internalized the damage already done — by the sight of an uncertain president, all too plainly wary of grappling with a regime that has gradually escalated its use of poison gas to mass murder its own people; a regime, moreover, that can do relatively little damage to the United States, and whose threats Israel’s leadership and most of its people were taking in their stride.

At the very least, Obama has given Assad more time to ensure that any eventual strike causes a minimum of damage, and to claim initial victory in facing down the United States. At the very least, too, Obama has led the Iranians to believe that presidential promises to prevent them attaining nuclear weapons need not necessarily be taken at face value.If a formidable strike does ultimately come, some of that damage can yet be undone, the Israeli leadership believes. American military intervention can yet be significant — in deterring Assad from ongoing use of chemical weapons, and bolstering American influence and credibility in the region.But if Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, who will be hosting the G20 later this week, inserts himself into the equation, and Obama is distracted by endless machinations ostensibly designed to see Assad stripped of his chemical weapons, machinations that ultimately are sure to lead nowhere, the damage will only deepen. If there is no strike, the United States — hitherto Israel’s only dependable military ally — will be definitively perceived in these parts as a paper tiger, with dire implications for its regional interests. And for Israel.Jerusalem is worried, too, of a direct line between requesting Congressional approval for military action against Syria — a relatively straightforward target — and feeling compelled to honor the precedent, should the imperative arise, by requesting Congressional approval for military action against Iran — a far more potent enemy, where legislators’ worries about the US being dragged deep into regional conflict would be far more resonant.Israel remains hopeful that, to put it bluntly, Obama’s America will yet remember that it is, well, America. The alternative, it rather seems, is something the leadership in Jerusalem finds too awful to so much as contemplate just yet.

GOP CONGRESSMAN: Military Members Keep Telling Me To Vote No On Syria

PAUL SZOLDRA
Business Insider
September 1, 2013
After President Obama delivered a speech in the Rose Garden where he said the United States “should” strike Syria following a deadly chemical weapons attack, Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) took to Twitter to dispute that claim with comments from those who would likely carry out that order.“I’ve been hearing a lot from members of our Armed Forces,” Amash tweeted. “The message I consistently hear: Please vote no on military action against Syria.”Now that Obama has deferred to congressional debate, a vote on striking Syria would likely come up on the week of Sep. 9. The President probably has the support of the Senate, but the vote could have some trouble in the House, as Josh Barro points out.Since Amash’s initial tweet, he’s been retweeting comments that have been sent in from military members and veterans. Many of my own military sources have expressed reservations with action in Syria, especially following service in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.This article was posted: Sunday, September 1, 2013 at 5:51 am

Kerry: We have proof sarin used in chemical attack

Top US diplomat lays out case for action against Syria, brackets Assad with Saddam and Hitler, says Congress will green-light use of force

By AP and Times of Israel September 1, 2013, 4:34 pm 5-The Times of Israel

The United States now has evidence of sarin gas use in Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday, adding that the “case is building” for a military attack.A day after President Barack Obama stepped back from his threat to launch an attack, deciding first to seek approval from Congress, Kerry said in a series of interviews on the Sunday television news shows that the administration learned of the sarin use through samples of hair and blood provided to Washington by first responders in Damascus.“This case is going to build stronger and stronger,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” But he also said he thinks “the people of America should be celebrating that the president is not acting unilaterally.”He added that federal officials had used hair and blood samples provided by first responders to determine the nature of the August 21 attack, which he said Friday had killed 1,429 Syrians. He said the information only came to his attention in the last 24 hours.Kerry said he was confident that Congress would give Obama its backing for a military strike against Syria. But the former senator also said the president has authority to act on his own if Congress doesn’t give its approval.“The case hasn’t changed and the case doesn’t change at all. The rationale for a military response is as powerful today” as it has been, Kerry said.Kerry maintained there is no weakness in the US case underscoring Obama’s about-face, saying instead that “the president believes that we are all stronger as a nation when we act together.”The secretary said that Syria’s President Bashar Assad “has now joined the list of Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein” in deploying chemical weapons against his population and that “the case remains the same” for a US response. Kerry echoed Obama in saying the world cannot stand by and watch Assad use chemical weapons.Asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” if the US obtained its new information from UN weapons inspectors who had visited Syria, Kerry responded, “No, it is independent. … But it is confirmation of the signatures of sarin.”“In the last 24 hours,” he said, “we have learned through samples that were provided to the United States, that have now been tested, from first responders in east Damascus, and hair samples and blood samples have tested positive for signatures of sarin.”He was asked repeatedly what Obama would do in the event that Congress refuses to give its consent, Kerry said, “The president has taken his decision.”“I think this is a smart decision by the president. … He is not trying to create an imperial presidency,” Kerry added. “I believe that in the end, Congress will do what is right,” Kerry told “Fox News Sunday.”Administration officials have said that Obama appeared set on ordering a strike until Friday evening. After a long walk in near 90-degree temperatures around the White House grounds with Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, the president told his aide he had changed his mind.These officials said Saturday that Obama initially drew pushback in a two-hour session attended by Vice President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, Director of National Intelligence James Klapper, CIA Director John Brennan, national security adviser Susan Rice and homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco. They declined to say which of the participants had argued against Obama’s proposal.Congress is scheduled to return from a summer break on September 9 to discuss the issue.On Friday, Kerry delivered an impassioned plea for action against Syria, saying that the world was watching how Washington responded to the alleged gassing of civilians outside Damascus on August 21.He said 1,429 people had been killed in the attack, though opposition groups cite lower numbers.

CDC SARIN INFO
http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent/sarin/basics/facts.asp

ITS SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 1,13 AND THERE SAYING THE AUG 21,13 GAS ATTACK ON THE PEOPLE WAS SARIN GAS.

Facts About Sarin
What sarin is
Sarin is a human-made chemical warfare agent classified as a nerve agent. Nerve agents are the most toxic and rapidly acting of the known chemical warfare agents. They are similar to certain kinds of insecticides (insect killers) called organophosphates in terms of how they work and what kind of harmful effects they cause. However, nerve agents are much more potent than organophosphate pesticides.    Sarin originally was developed in 1938 in Germany as a pesticide.Sarin is a clear, colorless, and tasteless liquid that has no odor in its pure form. However, sarin can evaporate into a vapor (gas) and spread into the environment.Sarin is also known as GB.

Where sarin is found and how it is used
Sarin is not found naturally in the environment.  It is a man-made toxin.Sarin was used in two terrorist attacks in Japan in 1994 and 1995.

How people can be exposed to sarin
Following release of sarin into the air, people can be exposed through skin contact or eye contact. They also can be exposed by breathing air that contains sarin.Sarin mixes easily with water. Following release of sarin into water, people can be exposed by touching or drinking water that contains sarin.Following contamination of food with sarin, people can be exposed by eating the contaminated food.A person’s clothing can release sarin after it has come in contact with sarin vapor, which can lead to exposure of other people.Because sarin vapor is heavier than air, it will sink to low-lying areas and create a greater exposure hazard there.

How sarin works
The extent of poisoning caused by sarin depends on the amount of sarin to which a person was exposed, how the person was exposed, and the length of time of the exposure.Symptoms likely will appear within a few seconds after exposure to the vapor form of sarin and within a few minutes to hours after exposure to the liquid form. All nerve agents cause their toxic effects by preventing the proper operation of an enzyme that acts as the body’s “off switch” for glands and muscles. Without an “off switch,” the glands and muscles are constantly being stimulated. Exposed people may become tired and no longer be able to keep breathing.Sarin is the most volatile of the nerve agents. This means it can easily and quickly evaporate from a liquid into a vapor and spread into the environment. People can be exposed to the vapor even if they do not come in contact with the liquid form of sarin.Because it evaporates so quickly, sarin presents an immediate but short-lived threat.

Immediate signs and symptoms of sarin exposure
People may not know that they were exposed because sarin has no odor.People exposed to a low or moderate dose of sarin by breathing contaminated air, eating contaminated food, drinking contaminated water, or touching contaminated surfaces may experience some or all of the following symptoms within seconds to hours of exposure:Runny nose-Watery eyes-Small, pinpoint pupils-      Eye pain-Blurred vision-Drooling and excessive sweating-Cough-Chest tightness-Rapid breathing-       Diarrhea-Nausea, vomiting, and/or abdominal pain-Increased urination-Confusion-Drowsiness-       Weakness-Headache-Slow or fast heart rate-Low or high blood pressure-Even a small drop of sarin on the skin can cause sweating and muscle twitching where sarin touched the skin.Exposure to large doses of sarin by any route may result in the following harmful health effects:Loss of consciousness-Convulsions-Paralysis-Respiratory failure possibly leading to death-Showing these signs and symptoms does not necessarily mean that a person has been exposed to sarin.

What the long-term health effects are
Mildly exposed people usually recover completely. Severely exposed people are less likely to survive.How people can protect themselves, and what they should do if they are exposed to sarin.    Recovery from sarin exposure is possible with treatment, but to be effective, the antidotes available must be used quickly. Therefore, the best thing to do is avoid exposure:Leave the area where the sarin was released and get to fresh air. Quickly moving to an area where fresh air is available is highly effective in reducing the possibility of death from exposure to sarin vapor.If the sarin release was outdoors, move away from the area where the sarin was released. Go to the highest ground possible, because sarin is heavier than air and will sink to low-lying areas.If the sarin release was indoors, get out of the building.If people think they may have been exposed, they should remove their clothing, rapidly wash their entire body with soap and water, and get medical care as quickly as possible.Removing and disposing of clothing:Quickly take off clothing that has liquid sarin on it. Any clothing that has to be pulled over the head should be cut off the body instead of pulled over the head. If possible, seal the clothing in a plastic bag. Then seal the first plastic bag in a second plastic bag. Removing and sealing the clothing in this way will help protect people from any chemicals that might be on their clothes.If clothes were placed in plastic bags, inform either the local or state health department or emergency personnel upon their arrival. Do not handle the plastic bags.If helping other people remove their clothing, try to avoid touching any contaminated areas, and remove the clothing as quickly as possible.Washing the body:As quickly as possible, wash any liquid sarin from the skin with large amounts of soap and water. Washing with soap and water will help protect people from any chemicals on their bodies.Rinse the eyes with plain water for 10 to 15 minutes if they are burning or if vision is blurred.If sarin has been swallowed, do not induce vomiting or give fluids to drink.Seek medical attention immediately. Consider dialing 911 and explaining what has happened.
