Lucidly written, sir. However, does another screed which seeks to assign blame and reclaim the contentious moral high ground do any good at all?
Most astounding is your thesis that “the rest of the world,” is somehow to blame. Firstly, so broad a platitude is invalid by it’s very innacuracy. E.g. are the Tutsi’s a part of this silent, complicit, guilty population? How about the Inuit?
Secondly, and I believe, the most difficult issue here, is that your putting the entire planet in the guilty column is a truly dangeruos way to view the world.
Your logic may work for you, but there’s plenty of horror and pain to go round in this world. The Israeli / Gaza issue is only one aspect of the profound suffering which, unfortunately, people must bear. And as usual, both sides think that they are right, and in most cases, that they have god on their side.
Colin, I think you’ve taken this article out of context. I do not believe the intent of this article was to single out innocent victims as being the reasons for this war. Rather, SHE is referring to the worlds political leaders. It seems that the focus of this article is the Gaza/Israel conflict not the Tutsi/Hutu conflict.
I found this article to be extremely captivating!
