Hoping for peace

I'm no expert in the Middle East politics but have been reading some blogs from the Middle East and they have been interesting to read from a gay muslim perspective and the intolerance of some of the religous authorities. They make some our our so called religious leaders in the Free World look tame!!

The Middle East conflict is now almost 5 days in the making. Oil prices have gone up yet again! and innocent people are dying for the reckless policies of both countries/political opponents. Too be honest I have given up trying to understand the Middle East conflict. So much bad blood here and historical reasons that it will take more than just one generation to keep the peace there. I'm not pro American/Isreali nor a pro Arab....we need to have a third kind of solution to resolve all the mess there. The peace talks are just bull shit talks and they have been very unpromising from day one!

Anyway, I really feel sorry for the Lebanese as they recently managed to get rid of the Syrians and they were enjoying their long lost recognition their capital city Beirut as the Paris of the Middle East and now everything is in tatters. There were so much promise around that part of the world. I feel sorry for the Isreali people who lived at the border and for the 2 soldiers that were kidnapped!

And the Hizbullah had to change everything! That part of the world has so much hatred, evil and intolerance!

Some pictures here are really quite horific lebanonheartblogs.... A moment of silence, a prayer and a call for all those who care still about humanity to wake up!! Just hope that this will soon cease....it doesn't help anyone in the long run! One day something will give way and the whole region will explode into flames....

I am still trying to digest the whole thing as I have some specific parts I didn't understand. But it's a tragedy. Why do we see more tragedies on the news than we did back in the 20th century? I thought we were hopeful. I still am though.

War is such an awful thing. There is no winning side but just how do you resolve conflicts?

Shigeki san - you're quite right to make that comment. Somehow the world right now is a more dangerous place than before! Not sure what significance the human race has achieved with all the technological advancement. We are still so primitive in our thoughts!!

Cyberscribe - always hoping for peace! Thanks for dropping by!

Rick - Get rid of the politicians and then things will be better!!
