At least no one can say afterwards that we didn't know , that nobody told us .
There is something we can all do to procure ourselves a better conscience , tell the world repeatedly , record the massacres of the innocent , which might lessen the chances of the next massacre . That sometimes being neutral , fair and unbiased , on the side of those who suffer is also a noble and a good thing .
The Syrian war is becoming more lethal by the day , shells and rockets are bigger , more destructive , more bullets fill the air and more knives to butcher innocent people from all ages and walks of life . Ethnic cleansing is becoming more often than not the rule of the game .
Some of these people flee to safer areas within the country or to neighbouring countries , some are simply unable to go anywhere , they stick to their lands and ancestral homes , fearing every day the death of their loved ones and themselves , no horizon for them , unless they die .
But this situation has in itself the dangers and risks for those who manage to flee as well as for those who receive . Lebanon comes to mind immediately , as it hosts now an estimated 2 million Syrians , divided equally between rich people who can afford a good standard of life to people living humbly with friends and relatives , to very simply starving kids and moms generally unattended and not helped .
A very risky and dangerous situation for the country of Lebanon and it's people , it is indeed a ticking bomb , as many if not most Syrians might one day , and maybe sooner than later , revolt as a result of any accidental injustice , or even some feud between rival young begging gangs , or due to those upper scale power recipients of the Syrian regime not used at all to behaving and being treated as normal citizens , risking to start , trigger , and fuel a new civil war in Lebanon between Lebanese and backed by different Syrian factions .
It all happened literally in the early seventies with less Palestinians around who triggered and fueled back then a merciless civil war for 20 years , the same scenario could repeat itself anytime now .
There are no set rules to the war in Syria and no easy solutions either , both factions are as criminally involved and both conduct their daily business in the utmost barbaric , vicious and savage way . The regime , it's armies and ethnic militias , as well as the different opposing Musslem factions , conduct the same killing and ruling , the former for survival purposes of himself and his immediate family and surroundings , the later with grandiose visions of a nation of Islam under false views mirroring their stupid versions of life under the Musslem prophet and his friends some 1400 years ago .
There are so many good and decent thinkers , politicians and philosophers in Syria who , unfortunately , are being systematically marginalised under the mottoes of both factions , ""You're with us or against us , you're from our race or theirs "" killing and massacring the other generally follows , and comes so very naturally .
From LA LA lands , I thank you all for your patience and time .
