Why isn't this bigger news? Just because it isn't happening in our country and to "our" people, doesn't make it any less horrific and any less a big deal. All it takes is for us to look outside our own world even for a second to realize how small our problems are in the grand scheme of things. There are people out there suffering miseries that we cannot possibly fathom.

Quote:These hundreds of thousands of online clips detail the destruction and death of a country, and yet its hellish descent continues. The coverage of a war can be one of the key factors that prompts world leaders to take political and military action to try and end it. In Syria, the cruel inverse seems to be the rule; the more we see of the violence and suffering the less resolve there seems to be to end the violence.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
