The desperate plight of Iraq's Assyrians and other minorities

[fenris]

yeah we shouldnt care about persecuted people around the world, just our own kind and just those who belong to same political party etc

We should care about ALL people... they who sell Oil... or Strawberrys, Bananas and Raspberry-Tarts. But Care not means that we play bombs-bowling in their countrys. We can´t expect respect from them if we don´t have respect for them.
Afghanistan is a trouble spot.... but Darfur too. And if a minority in Ruanda calls for help.... why we wait till this minority is buried in their Cemeteries.....
I have no answer.... but I think a cry for help is a cry for help, complete uninteresting if their governments are rich or poor and what they are selling on the world market.
We have the international Court in The Hague... but this court should be relevant for all countrys...
And if we need eally a army... this army should be very well selected...and not enforce their power by torture, crimes against humanity be noticed.

I understand people who mourn about their fallen friends and comrades... I really do ... but the next question what pops up in my head is : What are they doing in this countrys ? War is war .... and a sign of war is that uncounted soldiers of both sides lose their life.
