Thanks John Pilger. You always help me to keep my focus. See his article on New Matilda here.
Much as my heart screams for us to bomb the crap out of the Islamic
State because it oppresses innocent and largely helpless people who
would love to be able to just live their lives, I know that it doesn't
help and that those same innocents will be maimed, killed, orphaned,
widowed or otherwise devastated by bombs. I also want to bomb the US
and its allies (us included) and the Israelis, all of whom are
committing their atrocities.
Unfortunately, that wouldn't
work either, it would only make things worse. Also, I might get killed
which would not serve peace at all. There's the point! You rarely cut
the head off the serpent in these actions. Look what happened when the
US suffered bombing. The whole damn world got pulled in and bombs have
been raining down on so-called terrorists ever since but there are more
terrorists than ever. We are, effectively, breeding them.
Difficult
as it would be to achieve, it would be great if the so-called West
could stand back and let countries and regions alone. Of course, that would need to include not supplying weapons and 'advisers'. They will not do
that of course because, like every tyrant in history, they want to own
the world. 'They' at this particular point in history is the USA but
just about all of 'them' in the alliance of the 'West' have had their
turn and they still hear echoes of glory after all this time.
Perhaps that's why they ride the coattails of the current top dog.
Is
there any hope that we the people can just not play any more. I'm
pretty tired of being a pawn on this gigantic board, where it's really
hard to follow the game properly.
