How can we possibly embark on yet another war against Libya? While we drop bombs on Libya under the guise of ‘humanitarian efforts’ to stop a dictator from slaughtering his own people, hundreds of thousands of innocent people are in the midst of chaos and ultimate disaster as they cling to hope and life in Japan. We should be concentrating all of our efforts on true humanitarian efforts like dropping food and water in Japan, not bombs in Libya! Not to mention the fact that we still have areas in our own country that haven’t been fully restored from natural disasters like hurricane Katrina and the Gulf oil spill.
Gadhafi is killing his own civilians under the guise that they are ‘rebels’. Egypt just went through a revolution without our involvement and so have many other countries. Why do we continuously feel it necessary to become the police to the entire world? In this case - is it because gas prices are escalating – or are gas prices escalating because of the conflict? Either way – if we had our own issues in check in this country, then MAYBE, just maybe we could mettle in others’ business. We need to concentrate our battles against enemies domestically before fighting any wars abroad.
Let’s start with heart disease – 3000 American citizens die daily in the good ol’ USA due to heart disease – most of which is totally preventable. Wanna make a difference domestically? Drop bombs (metaphorically) on McDonalds, Starbucks, fast food restaurants, convenience stores and other culprits who are poisoning our society and killing our civilians under the guise that they are actually serving us “food” (I use the term lightly). Yeah, there will be many casualties in the ‘bombing raid’ on fast food (mostly financial to big business), but other casualties will be faster and less painful than the deaths people will die from living addicted to the crap that these companies call food.
I implore Americans to start a wave of grass-roots reform today. Let’s fight for what’s really important in life – LIFE – and the ingredients essential for life. Oil is not a necessity to live – there are alternatives. What happens in Libya doesn’t have to be our business right now. When we focus on what we can control, situations previously out of our control will fall into place. If we all collaborate and focus our efforts in a positive direction, the world will become a positive place! That’s what grass roots reform is all about.
