Edmund Burke

'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.'

It's hard to listen to the news at the moment. Watching it for me is almost impossible. We live in a world where man rules and the death toll rises. Inhumanity is loaded on to inhumanity as the killing rolls out hidden under a cloud called 'justice.'

For the Russians or the Israelis, the Hamas fighters or the Invaders of Iraq, there is no justice when the innocent die.

The UN must grow in power if we are to progress as a world of humanity. Further when will we stop with this men thing?! We don't do very well with this ruling the world bit. History teaches us this. I've been doing some reading around the monarchy of England and it's mainly a long line of greedy self trumpeted men killing each other!

I read on FB this morning a man write that Hitler did the right thing in WW2 in relation to the Jews. Such hideous talk is a direct result of men's desire to add bloodshed to hate. There is no freedom there. Democracy screams that free views should be allowed to be aired, and yet some views polute the very light that we call day.

I stand by the right of all to protect themselves, but our world must get better at protecting the innocent caught in the crossfire. Forget creed and colour; just see the beating heart of a child of mankind and stand shoulder to shoulder with your bloodline in the living.

A sad week.
