Re: Mind's Eye Syria

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Poly. Let me explain how your thoughts come across here on my side. The first thing that strikes me as strange is the politically correct formulation of feelings about an issue of human interest. I see citizens arguing for the health benefits of the salad in their bowl while expanding in size over their fried meat side from the fondue pot. Which then makes me stumble over your desire to share your concern with us guys. Why don't you just say what you want and let me pick my salad pieces in the order I like them best? Your share makes me think of an invitation to divide and impera on over-fertilized ground ... need to stop here ... need to go out now while it's not raining yet.

Now i know plenty is being said about the situation in Syria.. but i
am really bothered because it seems we're stuck in a loop.... this is
reminding me of the time of American occupation in Iraq.. whenever you
switched the news on there would report of some bombing or explosion
in Baghdad or elsewhere, likewise now... you switch on the news
anytime there will definitely be something on the shelling in Homs or
somewhere else.. what is disturbing is that though the images of gore
reach us pretty quickly .. there is minimal news on the efforts by any
big states , through the UN or otherwise.. its only the one percent
that gets to the world i suppose..i guess you cant really imagine the
real situation there.. now i am not commenting on the politics ,
because i feel you can seriously talk and talk.. all that should be
left for later... What i dont understand is that there is no active
intervention even by the neighboring countries.. surely they cant
support Assad.!. i get most of the countries are perhaps dealing with
their own.. but you cant help but sense some apathy towards the whole
thing.Also its understandable that one might be wary of supporting
rebels or any ideology, but it is clear now that the Syrian government
is bent on exterminating half of its population..there is no reason to
withhold active intervention.. and yes i mean a military one..It is
clear as daylight Assad is killing his own people....is the security
council just a fancy name or what   ..I dont know what the purpose of
this piece was.. And i feel it would be hypocritical to say much as i
have no idea of whats actually going on there.. but i am just
concerned and i am posting it here to share with you guys..cos well ..
thats what we do.. what do you think guys...
