RE: THE CHILDREN ARE DYING

in #steem6 years ago

This is propaganda! Using children to push an agenda is disgraceful. However, I do agree that we need to get the hell out of Syria. There are no good guys there, only rebels, that are made up of terrorists (Al Qaeda, ISIS, Al Nusra, etc). On the other side you have Assad's forces which I think we can all agree that Assad is not a good guy. There is no side to take here, both sides are evil. But speak the truth about what is going on, and please refrain from using dead children and depressing pictures to tug on peoples' emotions. Using those tactics come off as disingenuous, and there is no need, because there are many legit reasons for US to get out of Syria.

Sort:  

I don't draw issues with the likes of you cos it's obvious you don't feel a thing for what's happening to Those kids. @ CNN yesterday a little girl of about 8years draw my attention to this when she was talking about what happened to her little friend. U can look for it at CNN,its there for you. But u can see it as a propaganda which put u in the same shoe with Putin and Asad and may be I can add you to Kim of North Korea.
The time has come for all of us irrespective of what you believe in, to advocate for peace if possible in any of the social media because the major victim of This conflicts are the children.

Why are you making me out to be the bad guy? I agreed with what you are asserting, I just stated a different motivation for doing so. You insinuating that I do not advocate for peace is ridiculous. I would like the US military to get out of Syria and remove themselves from the chaos, as there is no winning solution. The other thing that we have to realize is that there are many warring factions in this region, and no one on the outside can make the parties involved act civilly. At some point we have to recognize that we cannot wish the evil away, however we can respond to what is happening in a logical fashion while rejecting the fairy tale that hashtags and saying we need to be on the side of peace, affects anything in the grand scheme of things. I am not trying lessen the importance of what you are arguing, I am just trying to keep things real. Evil has been around since the beginning of time, and it will continue until the end of time. We need to use our minds when attempting to engage these issues, not our emotions. When one reacts on emotion, they react with poor judgement due to the perceived sense of urgency.

I psychologically understand your direction, that's why I said initially that I don't want to draw words with you. One can not treat this issues positively if they can't attach their emotions to it. That was the reason you felt nothing for the children Cos in your words you believe that those issues are just propaganda. Well, that is your kind of person and yes evil has been around since the beginning but that does not mean I must acquaint myself with it .I don't know the school of thought that you belong to but you need to understand that we are human and we need each other cos no one is an island. So be good to others most importantly kids.
