Distract-o-thon: The 2012 Election and the Syrian Civil War
Summary:While Barack Obama and Mitt Romney each throw lavish, corporation-sponsored
parties in the Southern United States, Syria remains embroiled in the bloodiest
civil war Planet Earth has seen in some time. The President (and the media, of
course) is (are) so fully distracted by his competition with Governor Romney
that the images
of devastation and tragedy in Syria reach a wholly insignificant slice of the
American public. As such, there is very little awareness of the ongoing war and
even less discussion about how it affects our interests in the Middle East. It
would be shortsighted to argue for United States intervention in yet another
Arab civil war. Civil wars are like the flu: the only solution is to let it do
its damage until it reaches an end-point naturally. However, also like the flu,
it is quite possible to mitigate many of its most discomforting symptoms.
Analysis: I think its not right for Obama and Romney to throw parties while Syria is in a Civil war Its just not right.
