The world is a terrible place filled with awful people doing unspeakable things. More people in Africa have perished in atrocities, man made famines and savage wars since 1970 than all the people killed in WW I. When I see a 13 year old lugging an AK-47 at some Malian 'checkpoint' I don't see a PSA with sad piano music extolling us to give $19/month to fix some abstract societal problem which gets all jumbled up with the SPCA or that beardy guy telling us to feed starving kids in Peru. I see someone with the tough luck of being born then and there and that's how those miserable misfortunates survive. What after all is different from Biafra or the destruction of Hama other than we have a more real time knowledge of it. And the fact that we know about it with more alacrity hasn't improved our odds or intents at ending it. Why? Because it's unending. It's not what they do, it's who they are.

As the Human Rights Council Report ...Empress Trudy<br /><br />As the Human Rights Council Report says:<br />"“a space has been created for the worst of humanity to express itself.”<br /><br />One cannot be immune to the terrible suffering being visited on innocent Syrian men women and children by "the worst of humanity".<br /><br />Unless they are brought to account their evil will spread elsewhere.<br /><br />There must be a cease fire and the UN must send in an armed force to enforce it - and soon.<br /><br />Sitting around looking on as bystanders whilst this carnage is being perpetrated is a disgrace.<br /><br /><br /><br />david singernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-11766856080488007172014-06-24T05:01:10.729+10:002014-06-24T05:01:10.729+10:00We should be unconcerned what 'other' Arab...We should be unconcerned what 'other' Arab states do in relation to the unending stream of hotspots and civil wars elsewhere. No one cares, not even anyone here. So why should they. Just because they scream for the Ummah and makes noises about Arab solidarity doesn't mean it means anything more than the blather coming out of any politicians anywhere. <br /><br />No one cares. We can be ok with that. Let the Syrians rape kill and eat each other to extinction. Let Iraq go all the way back to the 7th century. Let ISIS stuff the heads of the entire ruling elite in Jordan on sharp sticks. Let a Biblical plaque and/or famine sweep over Egypt and Sudan. Let the Libyans deconstuct their country so that no stone sit atop another. Let Iran get dragged down into the abattoir of their dreams. Let Lebanon pick up where it left off with its last civil war.<br /><br />So they're not banding together to stop this? Good. So they complain about the Jews and Australia and Canada and whine and moan that not enough western nations permit rape and honor killings? So what?Empress Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073538968722986065noreply@blogger.com
