Nothing wrong with the historical truth. Are you suggesting we didn't do any of these things?

''Out of sight, out of mind''. Children's lives in the West matter while those in the Middle-East don't............apparently to people like yourself at least. You consistently come across as an extremely naive, nimby xenophobe..............and that's putting it extremely mildly. |

All lives matter and don't we as human beings have a duty to intervene when a government is slaughtering it's own people? There is no win with war. None. But I'm not sure taking the attitude that it doesn't concern us is the right or compassionate thing to do. Also name calling isn't necessary.

No one wants to go to war but I find it bizarre when people scream about the big bad west causing it all and blame us all while advocating we look the other way on human rights abuse and genocide.

It doesn't but, and I'm thinking of Syria, and recently Burma, there are real people there just trying to live their lives caught up in it all. How can we turn our backs? It's difficult.

So they want to SCREAM about relative minor 'abuse' on one hand but ignore major abuse/genocide on the other. Something wrong somewhere with that philosophy. |

They are doing an armed raid in Sunbury-on-Thames. Consider my eyebrow well and truly raised. If leafy Surrey has fallen to the terrorists we are all doomed!

When Saddam Hussein was gassing the curds, he was assisted by the U.S and yet, when America decided to take Saddam out, shortly after 9/11 they used his gassing of the curds as a reason to topple him. I'm not saying Saddam wasn't a criminal but he was a small criminal compared to the U.S and its allies. I'm not saying the internal conflicts in the Middle East aren't bad but they are not our conflicts or at least they weren't.
When the West want to pillage a country, they use words like, "Axis of Evil" and "For the greater good" and they tell us all that this country is threatening the peace of the world, or we have to go in, in the name of peace. Some of us call bull**** on that. Whenever I hear those formidable words, I think, here we go again. If we really wanted to curb the axis of evil we would have intervened in the South African apartheid and the mass genocide going on in Burma. I clearly listen to alternative views, views that are only available to us through reading material and popular media. The highly respected Neom Chomskey Snowden and General Wesley Clark who was a four-star general and former supreme allied commander in Europe and who worked in the Whitehouse under President Bush, because they are privy to a lot more information than we are.
