Nothing is so inhumane as man's inhumanity to his fellow man.No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
I don't buy that. I don't think its our job to save them from their stupidity.
Taken someone else's holy land and putting up your own country on it was stupid. Living next door to 300 million people who want to kill you is stupid.
Why is this OUR problem again?
Don't you stay awake at night thinking about all those people who died because you didn't demand action?
First of all, we didn't put "up your own country" ... clearly, you weren't there ... you didn't see the Iraqi people braving death in order to vote for their own government. You obviously didn't see little babies raped, or little girls cut from one end to another, simply because they happened to be in the wrong place. You probably didn't see 18 members of an Iraqi wedding party blown into little pieces by a suicide bomber. You know the thing I remember most about that? The bride was beheaded in the blast, but yet, her dress was virgin white - not a single ash or drop of blood on it -- as she lay there on the steps.
THAT is why it's our job --- not to save the stupid, but to save the innocent from the stupid. We are the only ones who can calm the area - if we don't do it, who will?
And, yet, you're comfortable sitting in your happy little home, your happy little kids safe in their beds, while you eat ice cream and watch Family Guy. And, the only thought in your mind? "Fuck them - I got mine. I didn't do anything to earn it, but I got it. Let them get theirs."
Disgusting.
