I'm almost at a loss for words.
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/africa/story.jsp?story=524674
At a time when the world's opinion was with the UN for their stance of
the Iraqi situation, those stupid <insert expletive here> go do what
they did.
I don't swear much, but this just makes me seething with anger. 13
year old children for crying out loud.
If I was a passionate man, I'd say pull out the UN forces and drop a
few really big bombs down on their heads and 'turn the sand to glass'
And now the conspiracy theorists are out in full force, spinning this
atrocity--'This was only printed to distract us from the atrocities
comitted by the US forces in Iraq.!" Hey look you guys with foil
wraps on your head--if it wasn't them, it would have been someone
else.
See, it's the mentality--when you are born into and taught your entire
lives that the 'displaced people' are 'less than you', you can commit
these heinous acts of barbarism and not even remotely consider that
you're doing something wrong.
Do I have an solution? Do I have an answer? I know that the UN has
mismanaged this fiasco from the beginning, and every shred of evidence
points to this mismanagement eminating from Kofi's administration.
But what to do now? Now it's a totally differnt ball-game. We see
the 'enemy' for what he really is--a spiteful, vengeful group of
people who have *no* consideration for people who aren't them. The DRC
isn't the issue. The DRC folks probably just want to go about their
daily business and be left alone and let 'the powers that be' go do
something else. But these extreme socialist zealots who believe
only they have the answers to all the worlds problems... that's an
entirely different matter.
Anyway, I can't go on because it just makes me too angry.
