War and Destruction: How Helpless It Make’s Me Feel
Innocent lives taken, survivors living in intolerable conditions, towns and cities blown bits – why?
When is it acceptable to take life? When is it acceptable to deploy weapons of destruction? When is it acceptable to cause mass destruction to structures and the country side? When it is ok to embargo necessary commodities?
Apparently when a government says so…..
Who really understands the necessity of war? I’m by no means an expert on war, or military issues, religion or even politics. But I do know that taking someone life and destroying families and communities has got to be wrong, not to mention, unavoidable!
As I live a reasonably normal life in a rural village in England, surrounded by my family, I simply couldn’t begin to imagine the terror and trauma that must be experienced by people living under the constant threat of war.
People, who have no control over the country’s situation whatsoever, are left to endure the consequences of the destructive decisions of the powers that be.
Why is it so impossible to sit around a table and at least come to a mutual decision? Why does the rain of missiles appear more appropriate than good argument around a huge table where everyone can let of stream then retire to their rather expensive hotel rooms?
I realise it can’t be as simple as that, but surely communication should be the answer, even if the heads of power are kidnapped and made to sit in the same room until a amicable decision is reached.
