Thank you people of Israel and Gaza for not killing each other today. Thank you for agreeing to a cease fire. America needs to try to be involved in every place that it has any influence when individuals are committing mayhem on each other.
I think the US has an embassy in every country around the world (almost) and it is reasonable for those diplomats to know what is going on in that country.
How hard would it be for the American diplomats to offer to help? “How can we help you? How can we help you not treat each other unfairly, awfully, horribly, murderously?”
Of course, the US has been mean spirited and evil to some of its citizens and slaves and aliens. BUT we are trying to get better, be better, be fairer, and even more so a land of opportunity for all residents and an inspiration for all peoples of all lands.
Is it a question of the locals trying to raise everyone’s quality of life or is it a question of a few locals trying to get more for themselves at the expense of the other citizines and inhjabitants?
JFK said “A rising tide raises all ships.” Isn’t that true of any country’s sea of people. Help everyone and you help yourself.
We are trying to teach one another how to ride. We threw in a little lunch for afterwards.
