Ugly

News seems to get worse everyday.  Government destabilized and neighboring army invades to seize resources, under the guise of protecting people speaking the same language who were under no threat from anyone.  Sanctions seem meaningless, and wishy-washy.  So sick of war, people forced out of their homes and into overcrowded refugee camps to slowly starve, attacked and raped or killed when they venture out for food or water or fuel.  This is no life.  Limbo that drags on with no end in sight or a glimmer of hope to ever return home.  Maybe there will be relocation if you are lucky, and always carrying the longing in your soul for a home you can never return to.  There have been liberations where lives have improved (WWII), but I can't think of any countries in my lifetime that are better off for wars fought on them, there are some that are functioning again, but so many are only limping, in tatters, full of mistrust of the "other" whomever that may be.  I don't know what needs to be done, what can be done.  The aggression needs to be addressed.  I just don't see who has the moral grounds to address it at this point.  So many governments currently guilty of the same actions to seize resources...(look at the maps over the past 200 years and see who occupied what country, what the official language is.)

Still if help is being asked, someone needs to step up and answer, regardless of the hypocrisy. In the end, the lives of actual people being at stake should take precedence over any past action.  None of us have clean hands; this is not the time to tie them behind our backs in shame.
