I sure wish that I was wrong, and i sure wish America truly did police the world. I wish all the UN nations were truly interested in the welfare of all the earth's citizens. Meanwhile, back in the real world, there is Syria.It's own government is waging war on its people. War. Genocide. With impunity.
IN the days of old, we would not even hear of such things. Their was no mass media poking into every news story looking for ratings and/or to sell their version of the truth. But in this internet age, we cannot pretend not to know, as the bodies cry out to God for revenge. Their homes are burned, their cattle and pets slaughtered, and they are killed like these aforementioned animals. Yes women, yes children, yes old and infirmed. Mowed down, without the recognition of their brotherhood as a nation, or their basic freedoms as men.
Will Russia or China help, well if you call selling Assad more weapons helping then they are quite involved.
i am not saying which or either side is right. I really do not know ideologically, but ideas are not being killed here. Often I hear Americans say,"we need to go to Washington and take our nation back",and I wonder if someone somewhere in Syria said the same thing. Their is a price for freedom, yes, but this is human butchery with no possible redeeming value. We in the west will abhor it, but we will turn our heads and sleep tonight.
But God is watching.
