Lebanon: August 7th 2006
The situation in Lebanon has reached the stage of no return. Unless the powers that be (a basic ideal way of describing them) involve some monetary value into a draft ceasefire initiative, the fighting will continue, along with it it's inevitable loss of life and destruction of property. The militia Hezbollah fight for the right of the Lebanonese people for proper recognition of its people by the Israeli government, but in the background they reach out to their fellow Arabs in Palestine.
Today there is more reporting of deaths of civilians, and at the end of the day there is room for talks to occur because no one in war would wholeheartedly choose to fight for the occurrence of deaths of innocent civilians.
The world is a hellhole for many as it is, with famine STILL continuing despite the numerous nations who continue to prosper, criminality reaching the levels where criminals are treated with kid gloves by the very system set up to deter and/or punish them, shooting on the streets between those who wage a vicious war through drugs and guns and its financial incentives that results in the deaths of innocent bystanders, the increasement of costs of living that further widens the gap between society and poverty (I am talking about the streets of England, much less in a third world state), medicinal resources being strained and restricted unless you have some wealth or connections that help you (meaning the many middle-class workers continue to strive for the wage packet that just covers their monthly living and having to work out how they can divert more money for hospitalisation).
Life is hard enough as it is without two factions going to war and many lives destroyed in the process over issues that should be discussed between adults. If adults cannot at least do this to avoid war, what chance is there of encouraging youngsters of doing the same throughout their lives? Isn't this why many youngsters are disillusioned that they brandish or conceal weapons to help settle their disputes?
