Syria's civil war explained from the beginning
 |
 However, the truth is that almost no one really cares! People have their own lives, struggles, concerns, pleasures, everyday routines. Your misfortune, war, killings, airplanes, bombs, atrocities, fire, blood, injustice, aggression, are just motion pictures on the TV screen. Something that a distant person, far away is watching over the spoon during breakfast, bringing a short and a fast passing excitement before work. To be cynic, bringing, maybe, a touch of good feeling that all the real troubles are somewhere else. Faraway. And all personal troubles and frustrations fade away comparing to "what is going on over there". But, "over there" is my life, my country, "my" war, my wounds, my starvation, my death... I remember very well watching Beirut, Sabra and Shatila, Saigon, Pol Pot, even Ceausescu fall in neighboring Romania, I watched from the comfortable safety of the former Yugoslavia. From my present experience, I should know better. That is not all. You are sure that imaginary someone, at list, could separate injustice from justice. Who's guilty. Who's less guilty. Who's innocent. To understand. To comprehend. Nuts! People are walking "daily news", tend to simplify complicated situations. Good guys vs. bad guys. That's it. The less people know, the more aggressive they are in advocating their point of ignorant and outside formed view. Believe you me, it is much easier to be bombed than to listen some western idiotic guy talking with the conviction of connoisseur things he has no idea about. Talking Christiane Amanpour's CNN News as his personal opinion. So, who is who in Syria? What is what? I am not pledging that the following text is "truth and nothing but the truth", but it could shed some light on the history, confronted sides and the current situation in Syrian war. |
