Not recently, no it has been an ongoing situation. Which one would think that there is some measures, which are taken concerning a situation before it goes too far. It's been ongoing for some time now. You would think that before another "situation" occurs or within it's infancy that there would have been a united measures taken within a means and ways within an assembly.
Nations working together seems not an option right now. Yes, there are different thoughts that go with this genocide within Syria. I am not sure that we have really yet learned that to nip some things within the bud before they get way out there. Diplomacy can last only so long - and meanwhile a society that feels that the world has turned a blind eye on goes through the struggles due to more than likely indifference.
There is no justice served within this one. If I recall correctly, we learned from the past. Yet, here again we have left a society of people which might not be planted right next door. Yet that is not understood that it's correct to do nothing when it's obvious where things are going.
Meanwhile children and women are slaughtered, raped each, and everyday. Let’s see if Russia now takes the lead and comes to ratify and shift the power to its own accord. When does a human life mean more than politics? Maybe we all will turn a blind eye and thereafter come to understand that if only there was a cut to the chase – there wouldn’t have been the amount of bloodshed.
Right now Putin is seizing an opportunity at the cost of thousands of civilians whom merely wish to live within peace.
I feel for all those people who have died for nothing because they have a tyrant for a president in that country. How can he just kill his own people like that? But I also think what the UN is doing is right...we cant get into that war just because we feel for the people....if all the countries come together to rid Assad from Syria, then ok...but as long as Russia is against it and so is China...then there is not much any other country can do. We do not need another war on our heads..we are still dealing with Afghanistan and the killings of our service people over there. But I see our president has done something to help the rebel fighters over in Syria...sending supplies covertly so we are at least doing something good. Russia thinks all is ok with all those killings since they have done it themselves in past years...so what can you expect from another tyrant.
ReplyDeleteOur own country is killing its own citizens slowly. More people are thrown out into the streets every day. You should see all the homes that have been foreclosed on in this area. Those people aren't used to being poor and don't know how to survive. With all the jobs being shipped overseas, there are few jobs, so most of them will remain unemployed. The charity food pantries are having trouble keeping up with the demand.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Cal...people are dying here also, just not being killed with guns like in Syria...but killing just the same and slowly like you say...maybe its better to be shot and gone in a second flat rather than go thru the slow pace of killed by our own country because of the partisan crap that goes on in Congress.
ReplyDeleteI can't fathom why some leaders could do barbaric acts to the point of killing, raping, or things that out of human dignity. We all know there's supposed to be League of nations that could protect the lesser nations but even them, can not prevent atrocities and malpractices being committed against fellow human beings.
ReplyDeleteIn all of these, all I can say is offer a prayers. tight hugs
When does a human life mean more than politics?... the present situation as well as history is quite clear on that one. Not going to happen. Unfortunately for us all, we live inside a system that believes the solution to everything is to shoot at it. There is no point even considering alternatives while the chief strategists all suffer from the same blindness. Of course there are ways to solves our problems, but they involve ethics and morality, and those two were the first casualties of our system.
ReplyDeleteIt's a grave situation for us all. Maybe some of us have learned from history but not in politics~~
ReplyDeleteYears before we did manoevers which never hit the radar as we have now Marty. There was a time were dropping a bomb a few yards away from one tyrant ended the situation - yet these are different times. We do live within a shift - probably for more reasons than one.
ReplyDeleteI see what Cal has said as well as your comment there. I can't say that this only involved America as there were other countries which allied around and picked up the slack. The term that comes to mind is the allied forces which included an ensemble of nations. Not just one country.
ReplyDeleteMaritess I agree. There are allied forces which would come into play. WW2 examplifies this. But seemingly here is a situation where for what ever reason the world not just one country has turned a blind eye - or there is something more to this. That I don't know yet it's not Iraq, there is a large difference here yet I thought that within the allied forces there would have been some action taken on this. As it had been done before.
ReplyDeleteI can't say I have read the news but it's amazing how this has been one situation which has been left to go. Pity it is.
I would wager that before the summers end we shall see something happen. Yet I do understand what your mentioning here.
ReplyDeleteIt does take ethics and a code of morality which might very well never hit the radar but do bring about justice.
.....Lets see within 4 weeks.
Exit out the poli drama and history might illustrate something within a new manner - I hope.
ReplyDeleteAs over the last three weeks I have seen this to be appauling. Again I would wager that
within a month something may happen - yet it could have within it's infancy.
it is getting out of hand..the *in fighting* there..
ReplyDeleteit is...
