I don't even know how to start that topic, but it's been bothering me a lot for the last couple of days. Here is a short review of the situation in the world as I see it and my thoughts on it.
Japan experienced one of the worst catastrophes a country could experience ever. There was an earthquake and then there was the tsunami which not only killed thousands but also endangered the lives of millions due to the damage it caused to the nuclear power plants.
The whole world sympathized with the innocent Japanese. There were donations coming from all over the world, from the ordinary people who donated money though the Red Cross organization to governments and political leaders who donated millions.
On the other hand, in another part of the world, there is Libya. People are fighting and dying for their freedom from the totalitarian leader Muammar Gaddafi. However, the political leaders of the world powers did not send money or food to the Libyan citizens, they sent bombs!
Actually, the bombs were aimed to exhaust Gaddafi. Though a hundred bombs could not do that, they could only endanger the life of the people fighting for their freedom. Needless to say, Libyans need support, they do not need bombs. It's a sovereign country just as Japan is, and no one should do any harm to its population, they could only help.
There is one villain in each of those two countries - Gaddafi in Libya and the nature in Japan. The world leaders are bombing the Libyan population because they think it's a way of doing good to them and are sending food and money to Japan, just cause bombing nature would do no help to the people there.
Two countries, two catastrophes. The world leaders are saving lives in the one and taking lives in the other. There's something completely wrong in the world and I hope people who make the decisions realize it before it's too late...
