Just thoughts. I don't claim to be right or an expert.<br /><br />Syria is just a tiny tip of a very large ice berg. To solve this (or any) problem, we first need to clearly understand it (which I don't). What are the root causes, and what are the various options for fixing them. This entire geographical region (Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc.)has been a hot bed of turmoil and conflict for centuries. One common thread is the strong religious culture, that is very oppressive to women, and has various conflicting spins of interpretation depending on which tribe you belong to. Some are relatively passive; while others are extremists, and tend to take the lead in many cases, which they successfully do because of the lower literacy and educational levels in general. Basic philosophy is that anyone not of their culture is an infidel; and should be avoided or eliminated. By increasing their numbers in other countries, they will eventually become the majority; establishing their religious culture as the law of the land. Sounds similar to the Trojan Horse story. I read this week that Japan is not allowing this religious culture into their country, because of it's conflictive nature. Sometimes I wonder about our good Christian character of welcoming everyone with open arms. Could it be that we lambs are potentially welcoming other lambs who are actually wolves in sheep's clothing? <br /><br />I am not educated well enough on this topic to know what the right course of action is. I do know that I have lost respect for this religious culture after seeing a city of them in Michigan cheering and celebrating in the streets, burning the American flag, when 911 happened. Totally despicable and inhumane behavior, and we Americans allow them to do this and become citizens of the USA. We bend over backwards "not to offend" them, but no one seems to care if WE are offended. There are definitely some very good people amongst them (my co-workers), not all are bad, but the overall culture certainly has to be questioned.<br /><br />What's happening in Syria is atrocious! My opinion is that the only way to attack this situation is through a joint coalition (UN) of other countries. I'd like to see all major countries, including those from the middle east, get involved. USA should NOT do it unilaterally, nor take the lead. We have a bad track record if you look at past involvements: Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. We went in and spilled our blood, spent our money (that we borrowed), used up our resources, and for what? Conflict continues. We were asked to help, then told to "go home". We look like the big bullies who come in to do some dirty work others don't like or want to do. The luster on our country's reputation gets a little more tarnished with each engagement in conflict. <br /><br />We can pray to God for guidance. Maybe all is unfolding as planned, but I am clueless as to what the plan is, so just have to trust in Him. A good step for America would be to get a "functional" and "respected" government in place, along with true and honest leadership.Petenoreply@blogger.com
