"Gone to graveyards..."
I love it. I absolutely love it. History in the making I tell you.
What do I refer to? Honestly am I the only person who watches the news? Why our little section of the world known as the middle east. Some 3,000 years of religious and political issues, brought the front some 60 odd years ago and staying there ever since. Wars fought, wars lost, wars won, men, women, and kids dying left and right.
And for what? Because Group A and Group B,C,D,E,F, and G hate one another. No one can simply live together and get along... and all over TRIVIAL issues that could all be solved in about five minutes if people would dare give up their pride and save their people.
The best part is that it has been coming for those 60 years, and now that it is here, no one on the planet who is in charge knows what to do. They had SIXTY YEARS to prepare for the OBVIOUS major conflict and now so many sides are split it is funny.
Now then... for those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, go to CNN or read my simplified unbias history.
Group A was, through out history, mistreated, displaced, enslaved, and so forth. They had a homeland that they lost several times through out their history.
Group B-F have the same issues.
Both groups blame the other.
Group A happened to get their home back. Group B-F didn't like the fact that group A had a home that they didn't anymore and attacked group A.
Group A kicked their collective asses. Group B ended their war... mainly because they couldn't fight. Group B made a few good strides for peace with group A.
Sadly, groups C-F did not. Group C-F dicided that they would fight to the last for a war that was merely in their heads. They created a war from nothing. A war of agression, hate, and general dislike of group A.
Group A dicided to ignore them. Group A figured it would blow over. Group A was wrong when buildings began to blow up.
Groups C-F attacked group A, breaking many laws regarded as nessacery civilized laws required for war.
Group A fought back.
Group UN yelled at group A, who used excessive force in many situations. Group A eventually backed down, and hunkered down for a long peace process.
Group C joined group B in this peace process with group A. Everyone was slowly becoming happy.
Then groups D-F ruined it for everyone. They attacked group A again and again. Group B and Group C could not stop them, and would not stop them. They had neither the will nor the manpower for either. Group A pressed B and C, but to no avail, you can do nothing if you have not the power to do so.
So group A defended itself.. only to capitulate to demands... again, and again, and again... And so it went, with no end in sight.
Then one day, group A had enough. That was several days ago.
I have no love for anyone in this conflict. Although I am getting pissed off at people who try to sugar coat history to one side or the other... EVERYONE is in the wrong, NO ONE is in the right. This event is no one persons fault, it is the worlds fault.
Don't believe me?
We had 60 years to prevent it. But hey, 3,000 years of merciless killing of everyones collective kids... I guess you just can't break tradition.
For the record... I believe that, from the last conflict, certain militent groups are getting exactly what they deserve. I also believe that if people weren't so stupid it never had to come to this.
Besides, it's fun to see the world run around trying to figure out what to do since a real political event exploaded in their face. UN, I do not envy your ignorance of this issue for so long, and I do not envy the blame history will place upon you 50 years from now. The teacher is allowed to go onto the playground and break up the fight... and they generally do. Too bad they don't stop the bickering and name calling that caused the fight in the first place....
Bah.
In other news, I know what I'm writing about when I go for my masters in history. ^_^
