Genocide Makes Me Sick

Genocide makes me sick.Tonight I was watching "Scream Bloody Murder" on CNN. I'm sure it will air again on Sunday. Wow. It's really hard to embrace the reality of how evil and sick humans really can be. I've been watching the history of genocide for an hour now. Starting with when the word "genocide" was even created by a polish man during Hitler's reign.You have the Holocaust. You have Cambodia, the killing fields. You have Rwanda, and then the genocide in Iraq and the show hasn't even gotten to Darfur yet. Makes me absolutely ashamed of this country that claims to want freedom and peace. Yes, freedom and peace for ourselves- however, unless its in our own interest (aka- foreign oil) the hell with the rest of the world. Mark my words, this country has sacrificed human lives on the alter of politics, convenience and power over and over again.Did you know that the government was fully aware of the atrocities taking place in Cambodia, and what did we do when 2 MILLION people were dieing and being tortured? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It was Vietnam that eventually went over and ended it. Do you know what America did about about the the genocide of the Kurds in Iraq? NOTHING. Not only did our government do nothing we PROVIDED Saddam with weapons. We provided Iran with weapons at the same time. We couldn't have Iran win though, because they hated us and if they won we wouldn't have oil.It's all about the oil. And when things got ugly between Iran and Iraq we appeased Iraq and did nothing. Even though our government was well aware of the atrocities taking place over there. They knew that Saddam and Chemical Ali were attacking innocent people with chemical weapons. Men, women, children, babies- dead. And you know why the US didn't do anything? Because we WANTED OIL! That's why. God forbid we piss Iraq off and lose our supply of oil.It wasn't until Iraq went and invaded Kuwait (oil) that we finally went in and did something about it. Reagan calling Saddam "Hitler" only after they attacked Kuwait. Not while he was killing thousands of of his own people.Wow- did you really think we went to Iraq this time because of terrorism? No, I think we just had unfinished business. We needed to gain power over there and that's why we went in. Our government only used 9/11 as an excuse. We don't care about others, don't fool yourselves.Please if we cared about terrorism and genocide we would have invaded in Rwanda, we would have stopped the killings in Cambodia. the reason we didn't is because THOSE PEOPLE DON'T MATTER TO THE THE INTEREST OF THE US GOVERNMENT! When it comes to "Human Rights" America has no place to talk.At least not the government and not the millions of uncaring and ignorant Americans who could really care less about other humans that don't directly benefit them somehow.Let's talk about Obama for a minute. Do you think he brings change???What about murder in our very own country? 6 Million people died in the Holocaust. How about these numbers 46 MILLION BABIES HAVE BEEN ABORTED SINCE 1973!!!!!!!!!!! Yes that's how many babies have died in our own country. And everyone who voted for Obama just voted for a man that is about to make it much easier for women to make the "choice" to murder. Look on my page to see the Act he is about to pass.You can go ahead and try and silence me and tell me I am over reacting. But think about these things. Either your conscience is stripped or you are choosing to ignore the facts. America isn't really that great of a country if we can't even stand up for others that are suffering, not overseas and not even in our country.But it doesn't surprise me. If our government won't even save the lives of those they can see they certainly won't care about the unborn whom they cannot see.But you know what? God sees.I am angry,sad, and sickened at the reality of evil and lets not forget that infamous quote.All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.Think about it. How can help prevent evil? How can we raise awareness to others about what is going in the world. Do we educate ourselves so as not to be ignorant of the suffering and death all around us. If not maybe we are part of it . . .
